Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (5671) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Outdoor Grill Accessories > Smoking Chips & Pellets"). 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, 5671, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Smoking Chips & Pellets
What is the Google product category ID for Smoking Chips & Pellets?
5671. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Outdoor Grill Accessories > Smoking Chips & Pellets", 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 Smoking Chips & Pellets available?
No. Smoking Chips & Pellets is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 5671 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 Smoking Chips & Pellets sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Outdoor Grill Accessories (3684). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Kitchen Appliance Accessories → Outdoor Grill Accessories → Smoking Chips & Pellets. If your product does not belong under Outdoor Grill Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Outdoor Grill Accessories (3684) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
