I agree, we have pretty insane taxes here so difference could be what we "do to ourselves". So These prices are not real indicative of anything related to Tariffs?


I mean - isn't the whole discussion on tariffs based on the premise that EU is (mis)using the US somehow? Consumer prices don't show that at all - no matter imported or exported goods, in the end everything is still much cheaper in the US.

A part of this is VAT of course but some prices are still much lower in US even when you discount the VAT amount.


Yeah, the numbers are certainly very interesting, and indeed perhaps more relevant than I thought. They do highlight the complexity of the issue imho.
