Trump's plan sets a 10% baseline tariff across the board. But the president's list makes it clear that many countries will face significantly higher rates.
Trump claims 39% tariffs in EU of US goods. This is absolutely insane.
IDK what the current tariffs were before increases today. But I was in the import business in the 90’s of computer equipment, and it was typically around 4% back then from USA.
I’ve been trying to figure out the general level of tariffs in EU, but I simply can’t.
The official Danish site requires all sorts of obscure data before I can look it up. 🤨
Anyone in the know about this, could you give us a hint about where about it was before this shit show?
Good examples IMO would be: Computers, Cars, Shoes, Clothing, Wine, Soy beans.
That 39% figure claimed by the U.S. is widely disputed with the World Trade Organization saying the EU’s average tariff rate was 4.9% in 2024.
…
“Nevertheless, considering the actual trade in goods between the EU and U.S., in practice the average tariff rate on both sides is approximately 1%. In 2023, the U.S. collected approximately 7 billion euros [$6.35 billion] of tariffs on EU exports, and the EU collected approximately 3 billion euros on U.S. exports,” the Commission said.
That’s weird, because I read the entire article, and I don’t see that anywhere?
A search on the page for some of the key words, doesn’t turn up anything either?
I even looked at the article linked in the article, still nothing…???
So what article exactly are you referring to?
That’s an excellent question. Pretty sure the page I copied that quote from looks a lot like the linked page. I don’t have other pages about this topic in my browsing history. Either CNCB edited the page, or my browser forgot a page.
Thanks anyway, it was exactly the information I was looking for, but it would have been nice with a source.
But the info fits my expectations pretty well.

He is a liar
Trump thinks sales taxes are tariffs so that might be why
Oh boy really?
You are probably right, but there’s still some way to go to reach 39%
AFAIK, no country in the EU has sales tax. They do have value added tax. Is that what you meant?
Yep, same thing
