Missing google_product_category

TikTok inherits the Google Product Category taxonomy in catalogs. If this field is blank, the product is downgraded in diagnostics and may be skipped from delivery.

TikTok Shop / TikTok Catalog Manager's product schema has format and value rules per attribute. This issue is typically: missing a required attribute for the category, an invalid enum value (e.g., 'XL' submitted where 'M, L, XL' is the valid set), out-of-range numbers, or attributes that conflict across the feed.

1. Look up the affected attribute in TikTok Shop / TikTok Catalog Manager's product data spec.
2. Check whether the attribute is REQUIRED vs RECOMMENDED for your product category.
3. For enum-style attributes (gender, age_group, condition), use ONLY documented values exactly (case-sensitive).
4. For free-text attributes, stay within the character limit and avoid promotional language.
5. Re-submit and check the next processing cycle.

• Submitting case-mismatched enum values — most channels require exact case match
• Mixing attribute formats across products in the same feed — keep consistent
