CIF Gold (U) Limited is a Ugandan-based gold trade facilitation and logistics company dedicated to providing secure, transparent, and professionally managed CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) gold transactions for international buyers and legitimate gold suppliers.
Unlike conventional gold dealers, we operate as an independent intermediary, bringing together verified sellers and genuine buyers while managing every critical stage of the transaction. Our objective is to reduce commercial risk, improve transparency, and ensure that every shipment complies with applicable regulatory requirements from Uganda through to the buyer’s chosen international destination.
We understand that purchasing gold internationally requires trust, due diligence, and meticulous coordination. That is why our experienced team oversees each stage of the transaction—from supplier verification and documentation to export coordination, freight, insurance, and delivery—allowing our clients to conduct business with confidence.
