Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6049) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Tableware > Drinkware > Coffee & Tea Cups"). 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.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 6049 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Tableware > Drinkware > Coffee & Tea Cups |
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, 6049, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Easy to mix up with
These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Coffee & Tea Cups
What is the Google product category ID for Coffee & Tea Cups?
6049. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Tableware > Drinkware > Coffee & Tea Cups", 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 Coffee & Tea Cups available?

Where does Coffee & Tea Cups sit in the taxonomy?

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Drinkware (674) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Coffee & Tea Cups compared with the categories next to it?
