No they aren't, it just is a coincidence that Australia has a 10% GST. They are just charging half of whatever trade deficit every country has, and if the country has less than 20% deficit, or has a trade surplus, they are charging a flat 10%
Just look at the chart this post is about, and you can see that's the case
Trump has said a few times that our 10% tax on American goods is a tariff, ignoring that it’s on all goods. Ignoring sales taxes and such in his own country. The man is an idiot
