Famously tariffs on steel. The European Union was originally created as a tariffs union, and the official name was "European Coal and Steel Community", which then slowly grew into the EU we have now.

Steel tariffs are still a core part of the EU, and are aggressively used today.

The European Commission has all the information on tariffs you might be interested in at this page:

The European Council has a more general information page:
