U.S. note 20(s)(i)	(i) all products of China that are classified in the following 8-digit subheadings: [ Compiler's note: numbers in this table read from left to right]	9903.88.15

Being listed is not owing a duty. A note may list goods that a measure leaves out; whether a heading applies depends on the origin, the date and the product; and the measures on all the goods of a country list no code at all. The calculator says what applies.
