https://x.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1907536257476903047 first picture clearly shows "Heard and McDonald Island: Tariff charged to the USA including currency manipulation and trade barriers: 10% USA Discounted Reciprocal Tariffs: 10%" and the same for the next line below it, Svalbard and Jan Mayen.
That same picture also shows the British Indian Ocean Territory, which as of a few weeks ago is literally just the US Military base at Diego Garcia. They also are listed as charging a 10% tariff including currency manipulation and trade barriers.
They specifically called out all of these locations in the papers they handed out to journalists.

> One of the sheets claims that the Heard and McDonald Islands currently charge a “Tariff to the U.S.A.” of 10 percent, clarifying in tiny letters that this includes "currency manipulation and trade barriers." In return, the sheet says that the US will charge "discounted reciprocal tariffs" on the islands at a rate of 10 percent.
They seem to specify some odd islands.
