Gold in Al Ras

Al Ras is a gold market in the United Arab Emirates and an active market for physical gold. Guyana Gold Mines supplies origin gold from Guyana directly to buyers here, from raw and dore gold through to refined bars, on payment-after-assay terms. Old-Deira wholesalers, bullion changers and refiner agents all source through this market.

This page explains who buys gold in Al Ras, how import duty and VAT apply, how consignments are delivered and cleared, and how to buy safely from a documented, regulated origin. The commercial logic is simple: you receive gold whose source you can trace, assayed and settled in Dubai, rather than anonymous material carrying reputational and compliance risk.

Old-Deira wholesalers, bullion changers and refiner agents The market in Al Ras spans wholesale supply, refining feedstock, jewellery manufacturing and investment demand, and the products that move here reflect that mix: Raw Gold, Gold Dust, 22K Gold and Gold Bars.

Because we sell direct from the source, we can match the exact form, purity and volume a buyer in Al Ras needs, and we mirror the RFQ language used locally, from AU content and karat purity to CIF Dubai delivery and settlement after inspection.

Gold enters the UAE customs union free of customs duty. 0% customs duty on gold; Al Ras adjoins the Gold Souk on the mainland On tax, the standard VAT rate applies broadly, but investment-grade gold of the required fineness is zero-rated, and qualifying business-to-business supplies use the reverse charge. 5% VAT broadly; investment gold zero-rated with reverse charge on qualifying supplies

High-value gold cargo is declared on entry to the UAE in line with local rules. We prepare the export, origin and assay documentation an importer needs so that clearance into Al Ras is clean and predictable. Nothing on this page is tax advice; buyers should confirm their own position with a UAE adviser.

Al Ras holds long-established bullion and jewellery trading houses next to the souk There is no direct flight between Guyana and the UAE, so shipments route through a European or North American hub with typical air transit of eighteen to twenty-four hours plus handling.

Throughout, the metal stays inside a secured, insured chain until it reaches the agreed assay point. For buyers in Al Ras, that means the same reliable handover whether you are in a souk district, a mainland office or a free zone facility.

Trade follows federal gold due diligence and source rules The UAE has tightened due diligence across the gold supply chain, and importers increasingly need to show where their gold comes from.

This is where a single, regulated origin matters. Our gold is overseen at source by the Guyana Gold Board, and the documentation follows the metal from a named mining region to your assay in Al Ras. That is a deliberate contrast to anonymous, mixed-origin dore, and it makes compliance and record-keeping straightforward for the buyer.
