The Yale Budget Lab regularly (’cause… Trump) updates the stated effective tariff rate. But what’s the actual effective tariff rate in effect given all the threats, pauses, etc.? Not sure? Fortunately, Paweł Skrzypczyński is on the case:

As of June July, the average effective tariff rate is 9.1%.
Note that as of today (noon CT), Yale Budget Lab indicates the average effective tariff rate given policies announced through 7/27 is 16.6% (pre-substitution, before August 1 tariffs are in effect).
