47.Bake 4U, Inc.(B4U) imports bulk pastry dough. The dough is subject to a tariff-rate quota, with an annual aggregate limit of 3,500,000 kg. The 2026 quota period runs from April 1, 2026, through March 30, 2027. B4U sources its pastry dough from the Netherlands, and at importation admits the dough into a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) in Texas. The dough is admitted in privileged foreigh status. Within its subzone, B4U operates commercial baking machines in temperature controlled facilities wherein the dough is used to create individually portioned baked pastries that are packaged into designer cartons for bulk sale to hotel and restaurant groups across Texas. B4U files the requisite entry for consumption in order to withdraw the baked pastries from the FTZ. Today, an emergency arose in B4U's subzone due to a failure of the temperature controlled refrigerators. To prevent the dough in those refrigerators from becoming unuseable, B4U decided to immediately bake all of the affected dough in its commercial baking machines. Since this will result in B4U producing a greater amount of pastries than it can package into designer cartons for bulk sale to restaurant and hotel groups, B4U has decided to sell its excess pastries at retail on-site to all persons who work at the FTZ. As of today, the annual dough quota has not yet filled. Under these facts, which of the following answer choices is a TRUE statement?
