 This is a logic gap. Buying things at a higher price ≠ paying a tax. You can not buy the steel Zhang can't refuse to pay the tariff, big difference. 

 Tarrifs are taxes.
Tarrifs result in a higher price.

By your logic Zhang can refuse to pay the tarrif by not making sales.

Neither Zhang, nor the customer wanted the tarrif. Its imposed by a third party who leeches value as a tax.
