Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, E-Book Reader Parts is seventh largest of the 16 categories under Computer Components, with 1 category below it.

The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at E-Book Reader Screens & Screen Digitizers (8163) on level 5: E-Book Reader Parts › E-Book Reader Screens & Screen Digitizers.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (8162) or the full path ("Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Computer Components > E-Book Reader Parts"). 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.
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 | Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Computer Components > E-Book Reader Parts |
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, 8162, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under E-Book Reader Parts

Questions about E-Book Reader Parts
What is the Google product category ID for E-Book Reader Parts?
8162. The full path, "Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Computer Components > E-Book Reader Parts", 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 E-Book Reader Parts or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: E-Book Reader Parts has 1 directly below it, starting with E-Book Reader Screens & Screen Digitizers (8163), and 1 in total further down. 8162 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 E-Book Reader Parts sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Computer Components (285). The chain from the top is Electronics → Electronics Accessories → Computer Components → E-Book Reader Parts. If your product does not belong under Computer Components, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if E-Book Reader Parts is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Computer Components first — there are 15 other categories at this level: Blade Server Enclosures (6932), Computer Backplates & I/O Shields (8158), Computer Power Supplies (291), Computer Processors (292), Computer Racks & Mounts (293), Computer Starter Kits (294), and 9 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Computer Components (285) 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 E-Book Reader Parts?
1 level more. The longest route down from E-Book Reader Parts is E-Book Reader Parts > E-Book Reader Screens & Screen Digitizers, ending at E-Book Reader Screens & Screen Digitizers (8163) on level 5. Not every branch below E-Book Reader Parts runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is E-Book Reader Parts compared with the categories next to it?
It is seventh largest of the 16 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.
