The gold sale is concluded in Uganda and the buyer is responsible for exporting the gold to his destination at his own cost.
In order to mitigate risk for both parties, all our transactions are overseen by both customs and the police. We provide a safe environment for our clients to purchase gold from us. Oversight is important for both buyer and seller safety, eliminating any possibility of either party being scammed.
Testing and smelting of the gold can be done at one of the two refineries below which are approved by our insurance carrier. We are not allowed to use any other refineries and we cannot afford to lose our insurance coverage. The refineries below are fully registered and have good reputations with clean criminal records. The cost of the refinery booking and testing is for the buyers account.
After the buyer has received the final ASSAY report, the seller will issue the buyer with a commercial invoice stating the net purity and weight for each gold dore bar. Payments can be made using one of the following methods:
The place of payment is determined by Customs and our insurance carrier. The only options for making payment are as follows:
Transfer of ownership if given when we have received full payment as per the commercial invoice issued to the buyer.
We work strictly with the law and all our transactions must comply with the regulations stipulated by Customs and our insurance carrier. The below are not allowed:
If you are happy with the terms and the offer then you may proceed to the SPA by submitting the buyer info so that we can draft the SPA.
CIF is conditional upon the buyer issuing either an MT542 blocked funds or an MT760 (SBLC). We carry all costs from Uganda until the buyer’s destination airport.
All costs arising from the buyer’s destination international airport up to the final ASSAY will be for the buyer’s account. This includes customs clearing, security, logistics, taxes, import duties if any and insurance.
CIF Terms:
The buyer will issue an MT542 cash-backed funds for one year and one day from a AAA top world bank approved by the Seller. The Seller will provide the banking coordinates of the receiving bank on request of the MT542 to be swifted.
The buyer will issue a cash-backed confirmed, direct, irrevocable, transferable, divisible and assignable SBLC for one year and one day from a AAA top world bank approved by the Seller with the Seller as the beneficiary. The Seller will provide the banking coordinates of the receiving bank on request of the SBLC to be swifted.
The testing refinery must be a fully registered refinery public refinery. The buyer must provide the refinery name and address and the Seller will first approve the refinery.
Payment will be done via SWIFT MT103 immediately after the final ASSAY at the testing refinery.
We will not deliver a trial order without an MT 542 or MT760 or the Buyer paying for the stock. The Buyer does not want to take any risk and neither do we.
We do not issue a performance bond, as each party is responsible for their own costs. The buyer may have concerns regarding the issuance of the instrument and the potential non-receipt of the gold. However, this is addressed within the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA). Should we fail to deliver the gold within 30 days of you issuing the instrument, you have the right to cancel the transaction. The Cancellation Clause in the SPA ensures protection against non-performance.
You will not incur any financial loss when issuing the MT542 or MT760. Your bank will require you to transfer the funds for the SBLC into a savings account, which will be blocked in favor of issuing the instrument. This savings account will earn a minimum of 3% interest per month, which more than offsets the cost of the SBLC. By locking your funds for the year, you could earn more than 36% annually, in addition to the profit generated from the gold transaction. Importantly, your funds remain in your bank account at all times, and there is no risk of loss.
On our side, we are responsible for covering the costs of taxes, insurance, and logistics, which amount to over 8%. While we assume these risks, your funds remain secure in your bank account.
