How to buy gold

Trust & enquiry checklist

Why serious buyers trust Diamond Capital

  • Licensed principal, not a broker chain

    Diamond Capital Africa is a licensed gold dealer and exporter in Kampala. We coordinate assay-verified supply, not random social-media offerings.

  • Assay verification

    Transactions are supported by fire-assay or equivalent purity documentation and chain-of-custody records buyers can review.

  • Real export documentation

    Bank of Uganda clearance, customs paperwork, and OECD-aligned chain-of-custody records are prepared for legitimate cross-border settlement.

  • Named contact and fixed address

    Deal with a named commercial contact at Plot 42, Nakasero Road, Kampala, not anonymous LinkedIn profiles or disposable email domains.

What to include in your enquiry

We prioritise complete institutional enquiries. Incomplete \"any quantity, cheapest price\" messages are usually not serious buyers.

  • Company name, registration jurisdiction, and role (importer, refiner, family office, trader)
  • Intended volume range (spot vs rolling) and preferred bar formats (10 oz, 1 kg, 12.5 kg)
  • Delivery preference: FOB Kampala, CIF Dubai, or escorted insured delivery
  • Settlement currency (USD or EUR) and rough timeline
  • Willingness to complete KYC before quote confirmation or site visit

International buyers

Diamond Capital Africa coordinates export of assay-verified gold from Kampala to institutional buyers in Dubai, the wider Middle East, and Europe with OECD-aligned traceability documentation.

Dubai & Middle East buyers

  • CIF Dubai: freight and insurance arrangements for UAE importers and re-export hubs where agreed
  • FOB Kampala: experienced buyers arrange insured uplift from approved vault facilities
  • Assay documentation, serialised bars where applicable, OECD-aligned traceability
  • USD settlement; BoU export clearance and full customs documentation where required
Enquire about CIF Dubai export

European buyers

Source African gold with documentation suited to EU due diligence expectations and multi-currency settlement.

  • OECD Due Diligence Guidance aligned sourcing for European importers and refiners
  • EUR or USD settlement; export documentation prepared for EU customs
