Certified gold bars from Africa, export-ready.
Africa Gold Suppliers Ltd sources and supplies refined 24K gold bars from Uganda and East Africa — priced against the live international spot price, independently assayed, and exported with full legal documentation to buyers in Dubai, Europe, Asia and North America.
Welcome to Africa Gold Suppliers Limited.
Africa Gold Suppliers Limited is a Kampala-based company working in gold and timber for more than ten years. We supply refined gold bars to international buyers and source gold through legal, documented channels in Uganda and the wider East African region.
Our approach is simple: prices linked to the live spot price, independent assay before payment, and a complete export file — export permit, certificate of origin and assay report — for every shipment. You can inspect the gold yourself before you pay.
Gold purity explained: 24K, 22K, 18K & doré.
Karat tells you how much of the metal is pure gold. Doré is different: it is semi-refined gold from a mine that must be refined before it becomes an investment bar.
The investment standard for gold bars and bullion. This is what we export.
Common for fine jewellery in Africa, the Middle East and India.
Harder and more affordable, used for everyday jewellery.
Semi-refined mine gold. In Uganda, gold must be refined to at least 99.9% before export.

Today's gold price, and how we price.
All our quotes start from the live international spot price shown below. We never sell below spot — no legitimate supplier can, and an offer below spot is the most common sign of a gold scam.
| Purity | Gold content | Price per gram |
|---|---|---|
| 24K (999.9) | 99.99% | Spot ÷ 31.1035 |
| 22K (916) | 91.67% | 24K price × 0.9167 |
| 18K (750) | 75% | 24K price × 0.75 |
| 1 kg bar | 32.15 troy oz | Spot × 32.15 |
How a quote is built: live spot price + a small premium that covers refining, assay, the export levy, insurance and shipping. Larger orders get a lower premium — but the price never goes below spot. Your written quote is fixed for an agreed time window.

Questions about buying gold in Africa.
Is gold cheaper to buy in Africa?
No — not below the world price. Gold has one international spot price, and legitimate refined gold in Africa sells at spot plus a small premium for refining, assay, export levies, insurance and shipping. Buying in Africa can save on dealer mark-ups in Europe or the US, but any offer below spot is a red flag for a scam.
How is your gold price calculated?
We start from the live spot price per troy ounce, convert it to grams (÷ 31.1035) or kilograms (× 32.15), adjust for purity, then add one all-inclusive premium. Larger orders get a lower premium. Your written quote is fixed for an agreed time window.
What are the best countries in Africa to buy gold?
Major producers include Ghana, South Africa, Mali, Burkina Faso, Tanzania and Sudan. Uganda is a key refining and export hub for East Africa. Rules differ: in Ghana, the gold trade runs through the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) and foreigners can't buy in the local market, while Uganda requires gold to be refined to 99.9% before export.
What forms of gold can I buy?
For export, we supply refined 24K gold bars (99.9%–99.99% purity) in sizes from 100 g to 1 kg. Doré, nuggets and gold dust are semi-refined or raw forms that must be refined before they can legally be exported from Uganda.
How do I verify the gold and the supplier?
Check the supplier's licence directly with the government mining authority — in Uganda, the Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines in Entebbe — using contact details from the official website, not from the seller. Then have the gold tested by an independent assayer you choose (for example, SGS or an accredited refinery), and check the bar's serial number against its assay certificate.
What documents come with an export from Uganda?
Every shipment needs an export permit from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, a certificate of origin, a certificate of analysis (assay report), proof of refining to at least 99.9%, proof of royalty and levy payment, a commercial invoice, a packing list and an airway bill.
What taxes and extra costs apply?
In Uganda, refined gold exports pay a US$200 per kg levy, plus refining, assay, insurance and air freight costs. These are included in our all-inclusive quote. Import duties and VAT depend on your country — for example, the UAE requires a customs declaration for gold above AED 60,000, and India charges import duty and GST.
How should I pay safely?
Pay only by bank transfer or escrow to the supplier's company account, in the same name as the licensed company. Release the final payment after delivery and re-assay. Never pay in cash, cryptocurrency or to a personal account, and never pay extra "release" or "clearance" fees.
What are the most common gold scams?
The most common are below-spot prices, advance fees for "taxes" or "smelting", fake licences, switched bars, fake officials and gold "stuck at customs". Walk away if you are pressured to pay before you can verify the supplier and the gold.
Can I visit and inspect the gold before buying?
Yes. You or your agent are welcome to visit us in Kampala, inspect the gold and attend the assay before payment. We recommend this for every first order.
