how difficult is it to actually identify specifically what the tariffs are for each country vis-a-vis the US?
...
The tariff numbers are pretty easy to find, at least for developed country importers who are, after all, the ones who import almost all the "stuff".

A couple of 2023 figures, from before the recent chaos
Trade-weighted average duties on all non-agricultural products entering the EU from all origins, 2.3%
Trade-weighted average duties on EU non-agricultural products entering the US, 2.7%

That's not to point out that one is higher than the other. The difference is trivial, and mainly a function of a different mix of goods. The main point is that both figures are low.

Both places (and many others) generally add sales tax on top of that, but that's almost always the same without consideration of local versus imported goods, so it's a level playing field rather than a barrier to trade.
