Would love to know what your country's tariffs are on the US.

You are downvoted but this never mentioned indeed. I have a hard time finding how much us Europeans pay in tariffs on stuff from China and the US.

It's downvoted because it's a transparent and weak attempt to "both sides" something that's not both-sidesable.

Why is it not "both-sidesable"?

Middle ground fallacy

No, I'm asking for details in this specific case. I don't have deep knowledge and understanding of the subject, so why is it no applicable in this case?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tariff_ra...

> The European Commission says it charges an average tariff of just 1% on US products entering the EU market, "considering the actual trade in goods". It adds that the US administration collected approximately €7 billion of tariffs on EU products in 2023 compared to the EU's €3 billion on US goods.

> A World Trade Organisation (WTO) estimate puts the average tariff rate on US products entering the EU slightly higher at 4.8%.

> In both cases, this is far off the 39% figure quoted by the Trump administration.

Imagine calling trade "not both-sidesable". You can't make this stuff up.

We're not talking about trade, we're talking about executive actions hampering trade.

For the EU and US: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_...

> For technical reasons, there is not one “absolute” figure for the average tariffs on EU-US trade, as this calculation can be done in a variety of ways which produce quite varied results. Nevertheless, considering the actual trade in goods between the EU and US, in practice the average tariff rate on both sides is approximately 1%. In 2023, the US collected approximately €7 billion of tariffs on EU exports, and the EU collected approximately €3 billion on US exports.

Is suspect you can translate yourself. Every country has a site I am sure (looked up uk tarifs yesterday for instance)

Re:US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China – 20% on EU by teekert on Thursday April 03, 2025 @01:15PM (#43572702)
So depending on the goods, between 0 and 17%.
Re:US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China – 20% on EU by roflyear on Thursday April 03, 2025 @05:23PM (#43575621)
Yeah, I think best way is to look at the total tariffs collected by the EU on US goods - about $3.3b USD in 2023 - compared to imports ~$370b USD in 2023. So like, 1%.
