Key Takeaways
- President Trump imposed a new wave of tariffs that included a 34% blanket tariff on China and a 20% levy on imports from the European Union.
- Previously, the U.S. trade weighted average tariff rate was 2.2% in 2023 for virtually all 170 members of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
- For perspective, China’s trade weighted average stood at 3.0% based on data from the WTO.
On April 2, President Trump announced a series of steep new tariffs, including a 24% tariff on Japan, a 26% levy on India, and a 49% tariff on Cambodia.
These come along with a 10% baseline tariff for all countries, set to take effect on April 9th. For context, many of the world’s largest economies have average trade weighted tariff rates below 5%.
This graphic shows the trade weighted average tariff rates of major economies, based on data from the World Trade Organization.
How Do Tariff Rates Compare Globally?
For the 170 members of the WTO, there is a baseline import duty that each country applies equally to member countries, known as Most Favored Nations (MFNs), unless a special trade agreement provides lower rates.
Prior to 2025, the U.S. had free-trade agreements with Canada, Mexico, and South Korea, but this has changed notably given Trump’s new stance on trade policy. Below, we show how tariff rates compare across nations, based on trade-weighted figures.

As the table above shows, the European Union has an average tariff rate of 2.7%, but this could jump significantly in retaliation to America.
Meanwhile, Taiwan and Switzerland have the lowest rates, standing at 1.7%. Japan follows closely behind, at 1.9%, with minimal tariffs designed to promote trade and economic growth.
By contrast, India’s average tariff rate is 12%, standing as the highest in the region. For select imports, such as cars, duties surge up to 100%.
