    Expertly Managing Your Gold Transactions in Ghana

    Assaying and Verification

    In Ghana, the gold supply chain often includes unrefined or semi-refined gold. We provide accurate, independent gold purity testing through XRF analysis at our Nairobi lab, with options for collaboration with accredited Ghana-based labs. We verify assay reports, test samples before purchase, and confirm the true gold content — reducing risk of overpayment or fraud.

    Buyer & Seller Matching

    The Ghanaian gold market includes many small-scale miners and brokers, but not all are compliant or credible. Afriswiss connects you with pre-vetted, verified sellers in Ghana from our trusted West African network. Whether you’re looking for dore bars or raw ore, we match you with sellers who meet international trade standards and have valid licenses.

    Transaction Documentation

    Ghana’s export processes require precise and complete documentation. We handle and verify key documents including:

    • Pro forma invoices

    • Assay certificates

    • Export permits from the Ghana Minerals Commission

    • Customs clearance paperwork
      We ensure all paperwork is in order before money or metal changes hands, helping you avoid costly delays or legal issues.

    Taxation & Cross-Border Compliance

    Ghana has strict gold export laws, including tax and royalty obligations. We guide you through:

    • GRA (Ghana Revenue Authority) requirements

    • VAT & royalty payments for gold exports

    • BOE (Bill of Entry) protocols
      We also ensure your transactions align with international AML laws and FATF guidelines, making cross-border transfers seamless and compliant.

    Financing & Banking Support

    Navigating payments for gold purchases in Ghana requires experience. We help with:

    • Identifying secure payment methods (e.g., escrow, LC, or regulated partners)

    • Advising on local vs offshore payments

    • Connecting with financial partners who specialize in commodities finance
      We’ve assisted several institutions and corporates in safely structuring their gold transactions from Ghana.

    Logistics & Delivery

    Gold exports from Ghana involve both internal movement (mining site to lab/exporter) and international delivery. Afriswiss works with licensed logistics companies to ensure secure, insured transport of gold to your destination. We coordinate:

    • Local transport to assay labs

    • Customs & airport handling

    • International air freight with full compliance
      All deliveries are tracked, insured, and documented for a risk-free transfer of ownership.

    Whether you’re moving gold across borders or across continents, AfriSwiss delivers with precision, protection, and professionalism.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes — but under new 2025 regulations, all gold from Ghana must be purchased and exported through the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) or licensed Ghanaian entities. Foreign buyers can no longer purchase gold directly from miners without going through GoldBod-approved channels.

    2. Who is the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod)?

    GoldBod is the official government body responsible for regulating, assaying, buying, and exporting gold in Ghana. It replaced many roles of the PMMC and now serves as the central authority ensuring traceable, legal gold trade from artisanal and industrial sources.

    3. Can Afriswiss still help me buy gold from Ghana?

    Yes. Afriswiss partners with licensed Ghanaian aggregators and exporters, and we work within the GoldBod system to ensure all transactions are legal, verified, and compliant with Ghanaian law. We guide you through every step — from seller matching to documentation and export.

    4. Can foreigners still buy gold in Ghana?

    Yes — but not directly from miners. Foreigners must go through licensed Ghanaian entities or engage directly with GoldBod under special arrangements. Afriswiss facilitates this process by connecting you with approved players and managing compliance on your behalf.

    5. Is sample testing or assaying still possible?

    All final assays for exports are conducted or verified by GoldBod to ensure regulatory alignment.

    6. Does Afriswiss arrange gold transport and delivery?

    Yes. We coordinate secure, insured logistics from the mine or seller to your destination — whether it’s local transport, airport handling, or international shipping.

    7. How does Afriswiss reduce my risk?

    We vet all parties, check export licenses, validate assays, and ensure compliance with GoldBod policies. We also help with KYC/AML, contract structuring, and payment security — giving you peace of mind in every deal.

    8. Can Afriswiss help with payments or financing?

    Yes. We advise on secure payment structures (such as escrow or LC), and can connect you with finance partners familiar with gold trade in Ghana.

    9. Who is this service for?

    Our Ghana consultancy service is ideal for:

    • International gold buyers

    • Financial institutions

    • Tech manufacturers

    • Jewelers

    • Collectors

    • Investment firms

    • Artisanal miners seeking verification or partners

    10. How long does the full process take?

    11. Why is Afriswiss uniquely positioned to help?

    We combine East and West African trade expertise with access to a vetted network of licensed Ghanaian exporters. Based in Nairobi, we serve clients across Africa, Europe, and the UAE — making cross-border sourcing secure and efficient.
