This CIS or KYC will become part of your contract. Our time is as valuable as yours, so please, only serious applicants who know that they need to pass all due diligence and compliance from our Legal Department, our Bank, our Security Company and most importantly from all fully legal licensed DGD Refineries who would never proceed with refining any gold without all legal documentation in place, etc. that will all need to contact the Seller’s country local authorities, UN offices and Interpol to complete their due diligence, in order to be able to do any transactions with us. For more details about due diligence, please visit our website at Unfortunately, in our business (gold and diamonds) there are over 99 scammers for each one real Seller, so clearing due diligence and compliance is a must in order to proceed.

Thank you for your understanding and we are 100% certain that legitimate parties have nothing to be concerned about.

PROCEDURES
  • Seller (Miner or Owner) sends to the Buyer, AIMS Gold FZC (AIMS), a Full or Soft Corporate Offer (FCO or SCO) as per to the sample in the following link:
  • Buyer reviews the FCO/SCO, makes comments, if any, and if both Buyer and Seller agree on principle, then the Buyer asks the Seller to complete and return this CIS/KYC.
  • Seller completes and sends the CIS/KYC and if due diligence and compliance is cleared by the Buyer, then
  • Seller sends all required documentation for importing the gold to Dubai, in order for the Buyer to perform his due diligence.
  • Buyer sends the Sales & Purchase Agreement (SPA) for review and approval, as per the verbiage sample found in the following link:
  • Buyer sends sample verbiage of the Proof of Funds (PoF) that must be issued by the Buyer’s Bank.
  • Seller and his bank approve the sample verbiage of the PoF, and both parties sign the SPA.
  • Seller, after paying all export document processing, taxes, duties, freight & insurance costs and other expenses imposed on or required up to delivery of the Gold Bars to the Nominated International Airport, notifies the Buyer three days prior to the date of transport with all the details of the shipment. Failure to do so would result in delays in Customs Clearance, smelting, weighing and assaying, and the Buyer shall be held harmless and blameless.
  • Seller ships the commodity to the Buyer’s Nominated Airport in Dubai, U.A.E. in the name of the Buyer and Consignee, either the Buyer or G4S or Brinks, in order for the shipment to be cleared through Customs as cargo “believed to contain gold” and cargo will be transported by the Buyer or G4S or Brinks to the nominated Refinery or nominated Assayer where the smelting or refining, weighing and assay will take place.

Buyer pays for Customs Clearance, Security Transport, Storage, Smelting or Refining and Assay costs in Dubai, U.A.E. and deducts all these expenses from the final price.

  • Buyer assays the gold, and if not homogenous, also smelts it.If the bars are not homogeneous and needs to be smelted, then for each 100Kg, it will take one additional business day prior to being able to do the assay. Any and all associated costs incurred for the transfer of the Gold Bars to the smelting facility, their smelting and their return to the Bonded Warehouse shall be borne and paid by the Buyer on behalf of the Seller and shall be set-off and deducted from the Final Commercial Invoice Price.
  • After smelting the Gold will be placed in sealed boxes and the Seller from that point on will not be able to touch the gold and in case the seal has been tampered with, the smelting and weighing process will have to be done again. The smelting and weighing can be done in the presence of the Seller or one (and only one) of his representatives, if the Seller so requires
  • Upon receipt of the refining results and/or the assay results from the Buyer’s Nominated Refinery and/or Assayer, the Seller issues Final Commercial Invoice, which must be signed by the Seller and the Buyer (or their authorized representatives) in the presence of one of the Buyer’s Bank Officers certifying the amount on the invoice and that payment will be sent by swift within the next three banking days. The ownership of the gold automatically transfers to the Buyer, while the Seller has the security of payment within 3 Dubai Business Banking Days signed and confirmed by the Buyer’s Bank Officer.
  • In case any advance payment has been transferred or expenses paid, like turning the bars to a homogeneous form, from the Buyer to the Seller or on behalf of the Seller, this amount will be deducted from the amount owed as per the Final Commercial Invoice.
