Using this category in a feed

Submit the numeric ID in the google_product_category attribute rather than the path. Google Shopping and Microsoft Advertising read it, Meta accepts it as an alternative to its own fb_product_category, and OpenAI takes a product_category field of its own.

Pick the most specific category you are confident about. A deeper category helps matching, but a wrong guess attaches requirements the product may not meet, so stopping a level short is safer than being wrong. If you are not sure where something belongs, search the whole taxonomy with the Google product category finder.
