Last updated: April 2026 dataPatent leather receives a high-gloss lacquer or resin coating that creates its mirror-like finish, while metallized leather is treated with metallic foils or coatings — both finishing methods that place these materials in a distinct tariff category from conventional finished leather. The US schedule breaks this heading into patent leather (4114203000), calf and kip patent laminated and metallized leather (4114204000), and other patent laminated and metallized leather (4114207000), with the calf/kip distinction reflecting the premium value of fine-grained juvenile bovine hides. Italy leads US supply, consistent with its dominance in luxury footwear and accessories manufacturing. Importers should confirm whether a product is patent laminated (a textile or other substrate bonded to leather) versus patent leather proper, as the distinction affects classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Patent leather is a single leather substrate with a lacquer or resin surface coating. Patent laminated leather involves bonding a leather layer to another material (such as a textile or plastic film) before or after applying the glossy finish. The laminated construction places it in a separate tariff line and may also affect classification under textile or plastics chapters if the leather component is not the essential character.
Calf and kip hides — from young or small bovines — have a finer, tighter grain that is particularly valued for high-end patent leather goods. The separate tariff line for calf and kip patent laminated and metallized leather (4114204000) reflects this commercial distinction and historically different duty treatment compared to patent leather from heavier or coarser hides.
