Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (4522) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food & Beverage Carriers > Drink Sleeves > Cup Sleeves"). 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.

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, 4522, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Cup Sleeves

What is the Google product category ID for Cup Sleeves?

4522. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food & Beverage Carriers > Drink Sleeves > Cup Sleeves", 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 Cup Sleeves available?

No. Cup Sleeves is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 4522 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 Cup Sleeves sit in the taxonomy?

At level 5, under Drink Sleeves (4520). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Food & Beverage Carriers → Drink Sleeves → Cup Sleeves. If your product does not belong under Drink Sleeves, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Cup Sleeves is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Drink Sleeves first — there are 1 other category at this level: Can & Bottle Sleeves (4521). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Drink Sleeves (4520) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is Cup Sleeves compared with the categories next to it?

It is the smallest of the 2 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.
