Here is some links the tariff data is in the second link
if you have not seen this data it is an eye opener in that there is no FREE TRADE FOR AMERICAN GOODS.- other links show that with inflation all the hoopla about free trade incr our GDP is very overblown.

Good links.

Unfortunately, if a $345B trade deficit isn't enough for "free traders" to reconsider their position, I doubt 20% vs. 1.6% tariffs will.

Interesting, China has a 17% tax on necessities but about 6% on other goods. Hong Cong has no tariffs. the UK is 17.5% with less on necessities. The US has a 15% plus on necessity items as peanuts. The US has a 25% tariff on trucks. In general the average tariff rate for the US is about 2.9% on all goods. About the same as China if you consider Hong Cong. If all of China is not considered about 6% for China. The UK is about 10% average on all goods. Stop trade with the UK
