As the 2026 HTS Revision 22 writes them (official notes); each code opens its page. Whether this heading applies to goods depends on the origin, the date and the product: the calculator says it.

U.S. note 15(c)

Any quantity set forth in a notice issued by the United States Trade Representative for any subheading specified herein may be allocated among supplying countries and areas and shall thereby supersede any quantity or allocation that may have been announced under additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 17.
