Toilets & Bidets
The Google product category ID for Toilets & Bidets is 2062. It sits under Plumbing Fixtures and has 3 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 3 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Toilets & Bidets is the largest of the 6 categories under Plumbing Fixtures, with 3 categories below it.

Toilets & BidetsBidets
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Bidets (2376) on level 5: Toilets & Bidets › Bidets. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (2062) or the full path ("Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fixtures > Toilets & Bidets"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 3 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 2062, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Toilets & Bidets
3 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
All 3 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Toilets & Bidets continues any further, so one of those 3 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about Toilets & Bidets
What is the Google product category ID for Toilets & Bidets?
2062. The full path, "Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fixtures > Toilets & Bidets", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Toilets & Bidets or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Toilets & Bidets has 3 directly below it, starting with Bidets (2376), Toilets (1921), Urinals (1746), and 3 in total further down. 2062 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Toilets & Bidets sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Plumbing Fixtures (1673). The chain from the top is Hardware → Plumbing → Plumbing Fixtures → Toilets & Bidets. If your product does not belong under Plumbing Fixtures, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Toilets & Bidets is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Plumbing Fixtures first — there are 5 other categories at this level: Bathroom Suites (499999), Bathtubs (1636), Faucets (2032), Shower Stalls & Kits (7244), Sinks (1687). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Plumbing Fixtures (1673) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Toilets & Bidets?
1 level more. The longest route down from Toilets & Bidets is Toilets & Bidets > Bidets, ending at Bidets (2376) on level 5. Not every branch below Toilets & Bidets runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Toilets & Bidets compared with the categories next to it?
It is the largest of the 6 at its level, carrying 3 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
