10 Steps to Consider When Buying Gold in Nairobi

Buying gold in Nairobi can be a genuinely profitable investment, but following the right process protects your money and ensures you receive authentic, legally sourced gold.

1. Research the gold dealer. Verify that the seller is licensed and reputable — check registration documents, business history, and industry reputation. Our full guide on gold exporters in Kenya covers exactly what to look for.

2. Confirm the gold purity. Investment-grade gold is typically 24K (99.9% pure), while jewelry may run 22K or 18K. Always request an assay certificate or independent test report.

3. Compare current gold prices. Gold prices move daily based on international markets, exchange rates, and local demand — check our live gold price in Kenya before negotiating.

4. Request authenticity documentation, including an assay certificate, commercial invoice, certificate of origin, ownership records, and export documentation for international transactions.

5. Verify the source of the gold. Ask the dealer about origin and confirm compliance with Kenyan mining and trading regulations.

6. Understand payment terms — accepted methods, transaction fees, taxes, delivery costs, and refund policies, always through secure and documented channels.

7. Conduct independent testing for larger transactions, using an independent assayer to verify purity and weight before funds transfer.

8. Check export requirements if you plan to export — export permits, customs declarations, and certificates of origin all apply.

9. Secure storage and transportation, using bank vaults, private secure storage, or insured logistics providers to protect your holding.

10. Keep detailed transaction records — invoices, certificates, receipts, and contracts — supporting legal ownership and simplifying future resale or export.

The most important considerations: choosing a licensed dealer, verifying purity, reviewing documentation, confirming legal sourcing, and understanding current market prices.

The Gold Export Process from Kenya

Exporting gold from Kenya requires strict compliance with the Mining Act, 2016, overseen by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). At Kenya Gold Store, we streamline this process for international buyers, ensuring both legality and efficiency.

Step 1: Sourcing and Verification. Select your preferred product — 24K bars, raw nuggets, gold dust, or coins — from our Nairobi stores or online catalog. We provide a Certificate of Origin and assay report confirming Kenyan or Malian origin and purity. Buyers provide identification (a passport for international clients) and sign a purchase agreement, with our team verifying authenticity via XRF or fire assay testing.

Step 2: Obtaining an Export Permit. An Export Permit from the Ministry of Mining is mandatory, and we handle this on your behalf — submitting the Certificate of Origin, assay report, purchase invoice, buyer details, and proof of tax compliance. Permit fees range from KES 50,000–100,000 depending on shipment size, with approval typically taking 3–5 business days.

Step 3: Tax and Duty Compliance. A 5% royalty tax on gross gold value is payable to the government, while refined gold incurs 16% VAT (raw gold may be exempt). Customs duties are typically waived for raw gold but may apply to refined products like 24K bars. We calculate and process all taxes on your behalf, liaising directly with KRA.

Step 4: Secure Packaging and Logistics. Your gold is packaged in tamper-proof containers, shipped via trusted couriers including DHL, Brinks, and Malca-Amit, with full insurance and real-time tracking. Shipping fees run KES 20,000–50,000 per shipment, covering full insurance against loss or theft.

Step 5: Customs Clearance at Destination. We provide all necessary documentation — Certificate of Origin, Certificate of Assay, commercial invoice, and packing list — and assist coordinating import permits at the destination (UAE, India, and others), liaising with customs authorities to minimize delays.

Step 6: Final Delivery and Payment. Final delivery to a designated refinery or facility typically completes within 3–7 days. Exports require a 50% deposit via bank transfer or escrow, with the balance paid after a final assay at the destination refinery confirms purity and weight — our representatives can accompany you or your agent for full transparency.

Key Considerations: Avoiding Scams and Legal Compliance

Avoiding scams. Verify credentials — ensure dealers are registered with the Ministry of Mining; Kenya Gold Store is fully licensed and compliant. Request assay reports and Certificates of Origin, and be wary of sellers offering steep discounts (20–30% below market) without documentation. Use bank transfers or escrow services rather than cash.

Legal compliance. Large-scale or export transactions require a dealer’s license from the Ministry of Mining (KES 10,000–50,000). Ensure all transactions include complete legal documentation to avoid seizure or penalties.

Why choose Kenya Gold Store for exports? End-to-end support from sourcing to delivery, global reach into Dubai, India, Switzerland, and the USA, full transparency with real-time pricing and 24/7 support, and an ethical commitment to the local miners and communities we source from.
