Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (341) or the full path ("Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Remote Controls"). 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.
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, 341, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Remote Controls
What is the Google product category ID for Remote Controls?
341. The full path, "Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Remote Controls", 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.
Is anything more specific than Remote Controls available?
No. Remote Controls is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 3, so 341 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Remote Controls sit in the taxonomy?
At level 3, under Electronics Accessories (2082). The chain from the top is Electronics → Electronics Accessories → Remote Controls. If your product does not belong under Electronics Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Remote Controls is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Electronics Accessories first — there are 17 other categories at this level: Adapters (258), Antenna Accessories (5476), Antennas (1718), Audio & Video Splitters & Switches (8156), Blank Media (367), Cable Management (3328), and 11 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Electronics Accessories (2082) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Remote Controls compared with the categories next to it?
It is 13th largest of the 18 at its level, carrying 0 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.
