Feed Implementation
To classify your products, use the ID 1645 or the full path: Business & Industrial > Medical > Surgical Gowns. While this attribute is optional, providing the ID ensures Google applies the correct policies and attributes to your inventory without relying on automated assignment, which can often be inaccurate for specialized medical equipment.
