Ice Cream Maker Accessories
The Google product category ID for Ice Cream Maker Accessories is 4674.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Ice Cream Maker Accessories is seventh largest of the 33 categories under Kitchen Appliance Accessories, with 1 category below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Ice Cream Maker AccessoriesIce Cream Maker Freezer Bowls
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Ice Cream Maker Freezer Bowls (4675) on level 5: Ice Cream Maker Accessories › Ice Cream Maker Freezer Bowls. 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 (4674) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Ice Cream Maker Accessories"). 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 the subcategory 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.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 4674 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Ice Cream Maker Accessories |
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, 4674, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Ice Cream Maker Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Ice Cream Maker Accessories?
4674. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Ice Cream Maker Accessories", 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 Ice Cream Maker Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Ice Cream Maker Accessories has 1 directly below it, starting with Ice Cream Maker Freezer Bowls (4675), and 1 in total further down. 4674 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 Ice Cream Maker Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Kitchen Appliance Accessories (2901). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Kitchen Appliance Accessories → Ice Cream Maker Accessories. If your product does not belong under Kitchen Appliance Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Ice Cream Maker Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Kitchen Appliance Accessories first — there are 32 other categories at this level: Breadmaker Accessories (3489), Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Accessories (3988), Cooktop, Oven & Range Accessories (500004), Cotton Candy Machine Accessories (5076), Deep Fryer Accessories (3954), Dishwasher Parts & Accessories (3443), and 26 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Kitchen Appliance Accessories (2901) 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 Ice Cream Maker Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Ice Cream Maker Accessories is Ice Cream Maker Accessories > Ice Cream Maker Freezer Bowls, ending at Ice Cream Maker Freezer Bowls (4675) on level 5. Not every branch below Ice Cream Maker Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Ice Cream Maker Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is seventh largest of the 33 at its level, carrying 1 category 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.
What is the difference between Ice Cream Maker Accessories and Ice Crusher & Shaver Accessories?
They sit side by side under Kitchen Appliance Accessories and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Ice Cream Maker Accessories is 4674; Ice Crusher & Shaver Accessories is 5042. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Ice Cream Maker Accessories" with "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Ice Crusher & Shaver Accessories" before you submit.
