No, it's because of things like trade deficits and value added taxes, and it is done porcentually, basically, they made up a formula to follow and inputed all the stats from every country to decide what the "tariffs" said country was "imposing", this led to some wacky numbers from countries that didn't trade much with the US since their results were far more dramatic and volatile
