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?

> 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.
