FAQ – buying gold in Uganda (Kampala & East Africa hub)
Is it safe to buy gold in Uganda?
Safety depends on who you buy from and how the trade is structured. Our model uses KYC, SPA, documented origin
and assay-before-payment, so metal and money move through defined steps rather than informal
cash deals.
Can you deliver gold from Uganda to Dubai or Zurich?
Yes. Under CIF contracts we arrange freight and insurance to hubs such as Dubai and Zurich, delivering to
buyer-nominated refineries. Under FOB, the buyer or their logistics partner handles uplift from the departure
airport.
What is the minimum order to buy gold via Uganda?
For CIF contract shipments routed through Uganda or Congo, the minimum is usually 10 kg. Smaller quantities
may be considered as FOB trial lots for new buyers, subject to KYC and commercial approval.
Do you sell small retail bars in Uganda?
No. We focus on wholesale bars and grain for refiners, trading houses and serious buyers. We do not operate as
a retail shop for tourist or small consumer bars in Kampala.
How does Uganda compare to buying gold directly in Congo?
Many buyers look at Uganda and Congo together. The key difference is not only geography, but how the route is
documented and how settlement is structured. In both cases we use licensing, documentation, refinery assay and
clear SPA clauses so the trade can pass compliance checks.
