Consistent grading & customs readiness

A U.S. industrial buyer needed monthly silver shipments but kept getting batches with unverified purity and missing moisture adjustments.

We set up field XRF screening at our Obuasi hub, partnered with SGS for certified assay, and shipped with CBP-ready documentation. Eighteen straight months of on-time, on-spec deliveries zero customs holds.

Challenge

The buyer faced inconsistent silver content and incomplete weight declarations, causing delays at U.S. ports. Prior suppliers provided generic certificates with no batch-level moisture correction or custody proof.

Solution

We implemented real-time field screening, issued moisture-adjusted weight reports, and included full chain-of-custody logs with every shipment. All documentation was pre-aligned with CBP requirements, ensuring immediate clearance in Houston.
