A UAE refinery needed gold from South Sudan but kept hitting customs walls missing origin proof, shaky assays, no one on the ground to verify.
We stepped in with our Juba team, worked directly with a licensed cooperative in Eastern Equatoria, and shipped 15 kg with full assay, custody logs, and Ministry permits. Cleared Dubai in 9 days.
Challenge
The buyer received inconsistent assay results, incomplete origin documentation, and no proof of legal mining rights. Traditional brokers offered only certificates not custody logs or on-site validation.
Solution
We deployed our Juba team to partner with a licensed cooperative in Eastern Equatoria. Joint weighing, SGS-assayed samples, Ministry-issued export permits, and pre-cleared air freight ensured the first 15 kg shipment cleared Dubai in 9 days fully traceable.
