Guam missing from State list in Edit Legal Entity – cannot sign Paid Apps Agreement

I'm an individual developer in Guam (US territory). My account country is United States, which is correct and is locked.

In App Store Connect > Business > Edit Legal Entity, the State or Province list contains the 50 states, Washington DC and the three Armed Forces entries, but not Guam (GU). The closest option, Armed Forces Pacific, fails address verification with a Guam ZIP code (969xx), so the legal entity cannot be saved and the Paid Apps Agreement cannot be signed.

This leaves no way for a developer in Guam to sell an app or offer in-app purchases. Presumably the same applies to the other US territories that are not in the list.

I contacted Apple through Contact Us > Reports and Payments > Paid Agreement Setup on 6 and 7 October and have had no reply yet. My app is a typhoon and weather alert app for Guam; it is built and in TestFlight, and this is the only thing blocking release during an active storm season.

Could someone from Apple either add Guam to the State list or correct the state on my legal entity directly? I can give my Team ID and case details privately.

Has any other developer in Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa or the US Virgin Islands found a way through this?
