Honestly, most of the calculation is, most likely, simply the trade imbalance with the nation in question.

If this is the fact of the matter, that's actually better because a nation with tariffs could remove them saying "ta-da" and then simply provide their domestic industries tax breaks, incentives, subsidies and so on achieving the same end.
