CARGO XPRESS SARL Gold Export & CEEC Procedures Guide
Source Gold from Legal Suppliers
Gold should be purchased only from licensed mining cooperatives, authorized traders or approved mineral trading
counters operating under Congolese law. Buyers are encouraged to verify legal ownership, traceability, origin and
export eligibility before proceeding with any transaction.
Physical Inspection and Assay
Before payment, the gold is generally subjected to several verification procedures, including visual inspection, acid
testing, smelting and XRF laboratory analysis. These procedures help determine the purity, composition, weight and
authenticity of the material.
Payment and Transfer of Ownership
Once the assay process is completed and approved by the buyer, payment is conducted according to the agreement
between the parties. Commercial invoices and ownership documentation are then prepared.
CEEC Certification
The Centre d’Expertise, d’Evaluation et de Certification (CEEC) is the official Congolese authority responsible for
evaluating, certifying and validating mineral exports. The CEEC verifies the quantity, quality, value, legal provenance
and traceability of minerals intended for export. After successful verification and payment of applicable duties, the
CEEC issues certification documents required for export.
Export Documentation
Typical export documentation may include: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, Assay Report,
Export Authorization, CEEC Certification, Tax Clearance Documents, Insurance Certificate and Air Waybill.
Documentation requirements may vary depending on the destination country.
Customs Clearance
Before departure, the shipment undergoes customs verification procedures. Authorities review export authorization,
mineral certification, duties and taxes, shipment information and destination compliance requirements. Once customs
clearance is completed, the cargo may proceed for international shipment.
International Shipment
Mineral shipments are transported through authorized logistics channels and delivered to the buyer’s final destination.
Cargo Xpress SARL assists clients throughout the export process, from initial inspection to final shipment
