Buying gold from us is designed to be transparent and verifiable at every step. Whether you are an investor, refinery, jeweller, trader or importer, the process below shows exactly how a documented transaction works, from your first enquiry to settlement on refinery assay. When you are ready, request a quote and we will guide you through it.
The 6-step buying process
1. Enquiry and quote
Tell us your product, purity (22K, 23K or 24K), quantity, destination and timeline using our RFQ form. We reply with a written quote and a pro-forma invoice that set out the terms, the agreed Incoterm and the documentation you will receive.
2. KYC and compliance
Both sides complete standard KYC/AML checks. This protects everyone and keeps the rest of the process moving. See our guide on KYC for gold buyers.
3. Assay and verification
A pre-export assay report confirms weight and purity, with a serial-numbered bar list for cast bars. Independent or refinery testing can be arranged before settlement. Learn how to read it in our guide on verifying 999.9 gold.
4. Documentation
We prepare the full documentation pack – certificate of origin, export permit, commercial invoice, packing list, insurance certificate and Air Waybill – so your purchase is bankable and clears customs smoothly. See the full gold export procedure.
5. Payment and export
Payment is made to the verified beneficiary named in the contract, structured against milestones. The consignment is then exported through the documented Uganda/Tanzania corridor as insured, tracked air freight, commonly on CIP (Incoterms 2020) terms.
6. Delivery and settlement
Your gold is delivered to your nominated refinery, where final assay confirms weight and purity, and settlement is completed on that verified basis – so you pay for exactly what is delivered and independently confirmed.

- A pre-export assay report (and serial-numbered bar list for cast bars).
