“Of the $387 billion in goods the U.S. imported in 1986, more than 20% was protected by special tariffs, quotas, or other types of restraints, according to Gary C. Hufbauer, a Georgetown University professor. When Reagan took office, the figure was 12%.”
That's fascinating. Are you going to try to answer the original question about average tariffs? Just to be clear, what you posted says nothing about average tariffs.
