Tariffs are not abridging anyone freedom. Just don't buy the products then you won't pay the tariff.
We have Constitutionally mandated Free Trade between the 50 states. When you start in with the slave produced goods coming in the US then it becomes political. I get to have a say. Especially since we are talking about a Communist Country.
Right. And when you buy an insurance policy, you won't have to pay the fine, either! Do what we tell you and your freedom is not an issue.
Yes, you certainly do. You won't buy from people in countries you find objectionable. I will do the same.
I do not think you should have a say over my choices, though.

Tariffs are not an elimination of my freedoms, but they are certainly an abridgement. For example, we now have a tariff on inexpensive, imported tires. No one makes inexpensive tires in America and no one plans on it, either. They aren't considered profitable enough.
If inexpensive tires are what I want (or can afford), I will have to pay the 30% tariff.
We have had steep tariffs on sugar for half a century. We pay much, much more in the U.S. than citizens of other countries. I have to pay more for groceries so some sugar beet farmers in the midwest don't have to change to planting corn because sugar beets are an inefficient source of sugar.
I suppose I can just skip buying sugar to avoid the tariff, though.
