A grower or miller who is not bound by certain agreements or determinations under specific sections of the law may sell their sugar cane or sugar, either for manufacture or consumption, within the Union or elsewhere. However, during the validity of such agreements or determinations, these millers must:

1. Export Requirement: Within six months after each year, export a proportionate quantity of sugar based on the total sugar they manufactured that year, in line with what millers with assigned quotas have exported.

2. Supply for Rebate: Sell or provide the board with a proportionate quantity of sugar at a rebate price, similar to what millers with quotas offer to manufacturers entitled to a rebate. This sugar must meet the grade required by the manufacturers.

The board must inform millers about estimates related to the quantities of sugar that will be exported, sold at a rebate, or manufactured by those with assigned quotas. The total quantities from the final estimate will be considered the official quantities for these purposes. 

Finally, millers are not exempt from their obligations even if they are unable to acquire the necessary sugar by purchase.
