How to Sell Gold to China

China is the world's largest importer of gold, accounting for a dominant share of global demand.

Common traded forms include refined gold, alloy ingots, and recyclable scrap.

To sell goldinto China, your cargo must be correctly classified under the applicable HS codes (listed above) and comply with China's customs inspection requirements. Pricing is typically benchmarked against the SHFE (Shanghai Futures Exchange) spot price or LME, with regional premiums or discounts depending on grade, origin, and logistics.
