They may also discuss any other relevant details, such as taxes or customs fees.

10. Certificate of Purity: The Certificate of Purity confirms the purity of the gold being sold. This document is important for both the buyer and seller, as it ensures that the gold is of the quality agreed upon.

11. Commercial invoice: The commercial invoice is a legally binding document that outlines the details of the transaction, including the quantity, quality, and price of the gold. This document is used for customs and tax purposes.

12. Certificate of Ownership: The Certificate of Ownership confirms that the seller has the legal right to sell the gold being offered. This document is important for the buyer, as it ensures that the gold is being sold by a legitimate seller.

13. Packing List: The Packing List outlines the contents of each package of gold being shipped. This document is important for customs and logistics purposes.

14. Certificate of Origin: The Certificate of Origin confirms where the gold originated from. This document is important for customs and tax purposes.
