Categorization Guidelines
There are no subcategories for this section, making 500030 the most specific choice available. When updating your feed, use either the ID 500030 or the full path: Hardware > Hardware Accessories > Moving & Soundproofing Blankets & Covers. While the attribute is optional, manual assignment is recommended to prevent Google from incorrectly categorizing your products. Remember that the product_type attribute is independent and should be used for your own internal organizational purposes, not as a replacement for the google_product_category.
