Taiwan calls new US tariffs 'highly unreasonable'​

The executive branch of Taiwan's government, the Cabinet, has called the 32% tariff imposed on its exports to the US "highly unreasonable" and "unfair" and said it would engage in stern negotiations with Washington.
"The tariff rate does not accurately reflect the actual Taiwan-US trade situation and is unfair to Taiwan," Cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee said in a statement.
She said Premier Cho Jung-tai had instructed the Office of Trade Negotiations to ask for an explanation from the US trade representative.
Taiwan, the US's seventh-largest trading partner, imposes a 64% tariff on US imports.
Lee said the tariffs imposed by Trump ignored the complementary nature of Taiwan-US trade, adding that a recent surge in exports from Taiwan to the US resulted from rising US demand for semiconductors and AI products.
In 2024, Taiwanese exports to the US rose by 32.5%.

I have just been reading that the average Taiwan tariff on imports is actually 6.4%. It looks like Trump put the decimal point in the wrong place when working out his figure of 64%.

Taiwan's average tariff rate for most favoured nations is 6.5%, and the overall average nominal tariff rate for imported goods was 6.34% which, while not the highest in Asia, is higher than the US and thus does risk reciprocal tariff action.

It seems to be about 5% based on the sectors involved. Machinery has a tariff of 4% and is by far the biggest sector.

The EU figure is totally wrong as well. The average EU tariff on imports from the USA is just over 1%. But Trump claims it is 39%. Bonkers!

So how does he get his figures? The only useful one is the average. Is there anything to show how he worked these figures out?
