Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (7322) or the full path ("Business & Industrial > Signage > Business Hour Signs"). 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, 7322, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Business Hour Signs
What is the Google product category ID for Business Hour Signs?
7322. The full path, "Business & Industrial > Signage > Business Hour Signs", 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 Business Hour Signs available?

Where does Business Hour Signs sit in the taxonomy?
At level 3, under Signage (976). The chain from the top is Business & Industrial → Signage → Business Hour Signs. If your product does not belong under Signage, 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 Signage (976) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Business Hour Signs compared with the categories next to it?
