Patent Laminated Cowhide Leather

This is a high-shine patent laminated leather made from cowhide, where a plastic film is bonded to the leather surface to create a glossy, durable finish. It falls under HTS 4114.20.70.00 as 'other' patent laminated leather, distinct from simple patent leather due to the lamination process.
