Foam Roller Accessories
The Google product category ID for Foam Roller Accessories is 6337.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6337) or the full path ("Sporting Goods > Exercise & Fitness > Foam Roller 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.

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, 6337, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Foam Roller Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Foam Roller Accessories?
6337. The full path, "Sporting Goods > Exercise & Fitness > Foam Roller 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 Foam Roller Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Foam Roller Accessories has 1 directly below it, starting with Foam Roller Storage Bags (6338), and 1 in total further down. 6337 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 Foam Roller Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 3, under Exercise & Fitness (990). The chain from the top is Sporting Goods → Exercise & Fitness → Foam Roller Accessories. If your product does not belong under Exercise & Fitness, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Foam Roller Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Exercise & Fitness first — there are 25 other categories at this level: Ab Wheels & Rollers (499797), Aerobic Steps (237166), Balance Trainers (499796), Cardio (499792), Exercise Balls (993), Exercise Bands (5869), and 19 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Exercise & Fitness (990) 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 Foam Roller Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Foam Roller Accessories is Foam Roller Accessories > Foam Roller Storage Bags, ending at Foam Roller Storage Bags (6338) on level 4. Not every branch below Foam Roller Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Foam Roller Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is fourth largest of the 26 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 Foam Roller Accessories and Foam Rollers?
They sit side by side under Exercise & Fitness and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Foam Roller Accessories is 6337; Foam Rollers is 5319. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Sporting Goods > Exercise & Fitness > Foam Roller Accessories" with "Sporting Goods > Exercise & Fitness > Foam Rollers" before you submit.
