Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (5282) or the full path ("Cameras & Optics > Camera & Optic Accessories > Optic Accessories > Binocular & Monocular 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.
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 | 5282 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Cameras & Optics > Camera & Optic Accessories > Optic Accessories > Binocular & Monocular 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, 5282, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Binocular & Monocular Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Binocular & Monocular Accessories?
5282. The full path, "Cameras & Optics > Camera & Optic Accessories > Optic Accessories > Binocular & Monocular 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.
Is anything more specific than Binocular & Monocular Accessories available?
No. Binocular & Monocular Accessories is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 5282 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 Binocular & Monocular Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Optic Accessories (160). The chain from the top is Cameras & Optics → Camera & Optic Accessories → Optic Accessories → Binocular & Monocular Accessories. If your product does not belong under Optic Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Binocular & Monocular Accessories is not quite right?

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Optic Accessories (160) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Binocular & Monocular Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 7 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.
