The longest route down from here runs 2 more levels, ending at Dry Box Liners & Inserts (503014) on level 3: Luggage & Bags › Luggage Accessories › Dry Box Liners & Inserts. 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 (5181) or the full path ("Luggage & Bags"). 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 13 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.

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, 5181, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Luggage & Bags
13 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
They are not the same size. Luggage Accessories (110) is the largest with 8 categories beneath it, so most of what sits under Luggage & Bags sits under that one name. 1 of the 13 carry subcategories of their own and the remaining 12 are leaves, which is worth knowing before you go looking for a narrower value that is not there.
Questions about Luggage & Bags
What is the Google product category ID for Luggage & Bags?
5181. The full path, "Luggage & Bags", 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 Luggage & Bags or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Luggage & Bags has 13 directly below it, starting with Backpacks (100), Briefcases (101), Cosmetic & Toiletry Bags (108), and 21 in total further down. 5181 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
How much more specific can I get than Luggage & Bags?
2 levels more. The longest route down from Luggage & Bags is Luggage & Bags > Luggage Accessories > Dry Box Liners & Inserts, ending at Dry Box Liners & Inserts (503014) on level 3. Not every branch below Luggage & Bags runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Luggage & Bags compared with the categories next to it?
It is 20th largest of the 21 at its level, carrying 21 categories below it. Inside it, Luggage Accessories (110) is the biggest branch with 8 beneath 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.
