*Test & Pay at Seller's Location*
It is unreasonable to expect any buyer to pay for at tester to come to the seller's location without Proof of Product (POP). POP requires that the buyer actually test some gold. Verbal claims, pictures and/or documents claiming to have gold are NOT acceptable POP.
*Option 1*:
Seller or seller's representative can pay a REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of 500usd to the buyer to cover the costs of sending a tester to the seller's location. When the seller completes the transaction, the 500usd is refunded by the buyer to whoever paid it.
*Option 2*:
Seller can bring 50grams to 1kg to buyer's location. Buyer will test and purchase. Then to proceed:
a. Buyer can send a tester to seller's location, test, and pay, OR
b. Seller can use the sales proceeds from the sale of the sample and pay for secure transport of the gold to the buyer's location.
AfriSwiss Commodities Trading LTD, Wilson Airport, Nairobi, Kenya
*BUYER PAYS ALL EXPORT COSTS AND DOES NOT REQUIRE COLLATERAL.*
The buyer is B.M.C. LIMITED (BMC), The trading name for Base Metals Corporation Limited Registered in Macau, China.
BMC will not test in a customs warehouse. Here is the procedure for offsite testing.
1. Seller brings 20kg, more or less, to the Agent's office or the seller's office
2. Seller picks up Buyer's tester at the Wilson Airport and takes the tester to the office.
3. Buyer will test a sample of the gold. Buyer will then obtain a booking number from AfriSwiss. The Buyer's Paymaster will send a LIVE video of the BUYER'S USDT Wallet as POF AND DO A HANDSHAKE TO THE SELLER'S WALLET
4. A security van PAID FOR BY THE BUYER with armed guards will come to seller's location and bring Buyer, Seller, Seller's Agent and the gold back to the refinery. Buyer will smelt and pay seller and agent the same day. The buyer will sign a separate contract with the agent and use him and pay him for all aspects of the export. The transaction is CIF, Seller owes no local taxes and BUYER PAYS ALL EXPORT COSTS.
