Current CRM purchase procedure
Updated October 4, 2026. Individuals and companies may submit personal or company details, contact information, quantity, preferred purity, and a nominated refinery or delivery address. After acceptance of the purchase procedure, CRM sends an FCO for review and signature. The FCO and SPA confirm the order terms.
Orders of 5 kg and above require a 10% deposit of the agreed purchase value before shipment. The deposit is part of the purchase price and is credited against the final balance. After receipt, CRM arranges export documentation and transportation to the nominated refinery or agreed address.
For refinery deliveries, the final balance is due within 24 hours of assay confirmation, based on the agreed price and confirmed weight and purity, less the deposit. Client-address testing, acceptance and payment timing are stated in the FCO and SPA. Ownership transfers after final payment is received.
Testing purchases from 100 g to 4 kg are available in 23K or 24K. Prices, payment and delivery terms are confirmed separately before ordering. The bulk deposit schedule does not automatically apply to testing purchases.
Accepted payment methods are SWIFT bank wire, USDT on TRC20 or ERC20, and Bitcoin (BTC), using instructions on the invoice or signed agreement. CRM does not accept escrow, documentary letters of credit or similar banking instruments.
Relevant shipment documents include the assay report, Certificate of Origin, export permit and shipping details. Shipment terms and cost responsibilities are confirmed in the signed FCO and executed SPA; the SPA governs any differences. Read the purchase process or view the current FAQ.
In today’s volatile financial landscape, more investors are flocking to gold as a safe-haven asset. But if you’re looking to buy gold bars online, don’t click that payment button just yet.
This blog reveals the insider checklist that separates smart gold buyers from the ones who get burned. Whether you’re purchasing 100 grams or 10 kilograms, these are the key things you MUST know before making your move.
🧠 1. Know Who You’re Buying From
Online gold markets are packed with resellers, brokers, and anonymous websites. Before buying:
- Verify if the seller is a licensed gold exporter
- Ask for their export registration number
- Check reviews, third-party references, and transaction history
Congo Rare Minerals is a government-licensed exporter in both DRC and Uganda with verified global deliveries.
🔍 2. Always Request Legal Documentation
If your seller can’t provide paperwork, run. Every legitimate gold transaction should include:
- Assay Certificate (proves purity)
- Certificate of Origin (proves legal mining source)
- Export License (authorizes international trade)
- Commercial Invoice
No documents = shady gold = trouble with customs.
💳 3. Use Secure Payment Methods Only
Avoid sending money through:
- Unverified crypto wallets
- Informal money transfer agents
- Personal bank accounts
Instead, pay via:
- SWIFT wire transfer
- Verified crypto wallets
- Accepted payment methods are SWIFT bank wire, USDT on TRC20 or ERC20, and Bitcoin (BTC), using instructions on the invoice or signed agreement. CRM does not accept escrow, documentary letters of credit or similar banking instruments.
- Bank-backed payment channels
📦 4. Confirm Delivery Process and Insurance
Gold isn’t your average package. Make sure the seller offers:
- Insured international delivery
- Customs-cleared logistics
- Tracking numbers + shipping docs
Congo Rare Minerals ships gold globally with insured, door-to-door delivery to Dubai, Zurich, London, and beyond.
🪙 5. Decide What Format You Want
Most online buyers go for:
- CRM offers testing purchases in 23K or 24K and bulk orders of 5 kg and above. Confirm the product, batch-specific purity, assay, documentation and delivery terms in the FCO and SPA. Testing purchases from 100 g to 4 kg are available in 23K or 24K. Prices, payment and delivery terms are confirmed separately before ordering. The bulk deposit schedule does not automatically apply to testing purchases.
- Gold Nuggets
- Raw Gold Dust (for industrial or refinery use)
Ask your seller for a product catalog or stock list.
🛡️ 6. Buy from Exporters, Not Middlemen
Middlemen inflate prices, dodge paperwork, and vanish when things go wrong.
Congo Rare Minerals = No middlemen. You’re dealing with licensed African exporters who:
- Source direct from mines
- Refine in-country
- Ship with full transparency
