Notice and eligibility
The exporter begins by notifying PMT and presenting the correct export documents.
- A 24hr notice must be sent to the Manager or Director of PMT.
- On arrival, the gold assayer verifies gold export license and bank statement.
- Gold export could either be in the form of dust or bars.
Testing, weighing, and record confirmation
Gold authenticity, weight, ledger records, and specific gravity calculation are handled in the presence of relevant officers.
- An acidic test could be done if necessary to test for fake gold. Nitric acid is used.
- Gold weight is taken by the Gold Consultant or one of the Assayers in the presence of the exporter, the Mines Monitoring Officer and Customs Officer.
- The gold weight is entered into a ledger and the exporter signs as a form of confirmation.
- Calculation is computed using the specific gravity (SG) method.
Valuation and export duty
The London gold fix, export duty, re-weighing, photography, and tax payment complete the value confirmation stage.
- The London gold fix is applied to arrive at the final value.
- The 3% export duty is levied on total value to generate the export tax.
- The gold is re-weighed in the presence of the Exporter, the Mines Monitoring Officer and Customs Officer.
- Immediately after the re-weighing, a photograph of the gold is taken for record purposes.
- Immediately after the assaying, the exporter is mandated to pay the export tax.
Sealing and certification
The gold is boxed, wrapped, signed, documented, vetted, and certified through the proper government offices.
- Having satisfied all parties, the gold is put in a wooden box, wrapped, and signed by the Mines Monitoring Officer, Customs Officer, and the Director or Manager of PMT.
- An internal gold certificate is prepared and signed by the Director or Manager PMT.
- The documents are forwarded to the Directorate of Mines (NMA) for vetting.
- Final signature for the gold certificate is the Minister of Mines and Minerals Resources or his designated representative.
Final airport handover
Certificates are distributed and the sealed gold is handed over for export through Freetown International Airport.
- The final signed gold certificate is handed over to the exporter with three copies to be distributed to the Mines Monitoring Office, Office of National Security, and Customs Department at the airport.
- After all of this, the box of gold and a copy of the gold certificates are handed over to the gold exporter to be exported through the Freetown International Airport.
