Uganda has rapidly become a trusted source of gold in Africa. But as demand rises, so does the risk of fraud. Whether you’re a global investor, jeweler, or wholesaler, you must understand how to verify the authenticity of gold from Uganda before making a purchase.

At ugandabullion.com, we provide full transparency, legal export documents, and certified assay reports to ensure every shipment is 100% genuine.

1. Request a Professional Assay Report
   A legitimate Ugandan gold dealer should provide a laboratory assay from a government-recognized or international testing agency, such as:

✔️ SGS Uganda
✔️ Intertek Labs
✔️ UNBS (Uganda National Bureau of Standards)
Gold purity (karat and percentage) will be clearly indicated — typically 22K–24K for Ugandan exports.

2. Check for Export Documentation
   Ugandan law requires all gold exports to be licensed and documented. Key paperwork includes:

📄 Export Permit from the Directorate of Geological Survey & Mines (DGSM)
📄 Certificate of Origin
📄 Commercial Invoice
📄 Air Waybill (if shipped internationally)
If any of these are missing — it’s a red flag.

3. Verify the Seller’s Export License
   You can request a copy of the dealer’s export license, which should show:

✅ The registered company name
✅ Date of issue and validity
✅ Authorized gold quantity
ugandabullion.com operates under a valid gold export license issued in Uganda, and we display it upon request.

   🚫 Fake bars or painted tungsten: Always ask for an assay first.
