The WTO's US row for 2024 gives a tariff average of about 1.14%, after trade deals. That old rate does not describe the new US tariffs of 2025 and 2026.

Checked 2026-10-20. Each record says what the source can and cannot show.

What this covers

Place: United States and Canada
Time covered: WTO workbook, 2024 US row

What this does not prove

The rate gives more weight to goods bought in larger amounts. It is not a count of taxes paid. Do not treat an old Canadian rate and a new US model as two current counts.
