Given this situation, I would:
1. Query current winds at the outer, middle, and inner marker...if still above company limits, I would go around - depending on my own experience (and judgment call), of course - particularly at that airport.
2. If winds dropped after the go around, I'd try again, otherwise...divert.Would also depend on if other traffic was able to land!
3. Why? If that was truly the company limit for direct cross wind component (seems rather low - I wouldn't think that this would present much of a problem, even in a light single or twin! I've landed in worse during a typhoon! ), better not to have the head office on my back!
