  3. QUESTION:
    Would it be profitable to buy gold in dubai and sell in usa?
    Hello i am from usa and i was looking into buying gold into dubai and selling in usa because its cheaper there i was wondering if anyone with experience can tell me if this is profitable?
    fairy could you suggest a country or a profitable way to do this for me?
    so would buying gold jewelry in dubai be profitable?

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on what kind of gold you are talking about. Gold bars/coins, etc? To import such items wouldn't make any sense because you would buy them tax free in Dubai but would have to pay tax at US customs.

      Where you may make some profit is buying jewelleries procuced in "cheap labour countries" and then sellng them in the USA. But in this case it would make sense to buy the jewelleries in the producing countries direcly.
      Please note that gold in Dubai isn't any cheaper than anywhere else. It's just taxfree.

      Profit on gold (not jewelleries) is made when bought while the gold rate is cheap/low and sell it after the price/rate increased. Same system like shares/bonds/ fonds, etc. If you for example would have bought gold a couple years ago and sell it now, you would make some profit.

      You also may take into consideration when buying gold in Dubai, the seller in Dubai will take his piece of the cake already:)

      edit regarding your additional: i. e. India, but buying jewelleries
      produced in India or any other country you may overthink the taste of US customers.
      Companies working in this field have their items produced in "cheap labour countries" regarding their customers demand/expectations.

  7. QUESTION:
    Is it good to buy gold from Dubai or Turkey?
    In case you want to resell it and make money? Is it affordable?

    Thanks alot!

    • ANSWER:
      Well the price of gold is the price of gold regardless of where you are. But.......

      Jewelry in the Middle East is generally often better worked and more interesting than the standard jewelry in the west. Standard western jewelry is already marked up hugely. Say that 00 tennis bracelet is worth in reality 00, really. So imagine if you were to buy something here that was exceptionally done and obviously took a great deal of time to make. Imagine the markup.

      Over the years I have purchased jewelry in various Muslim countries including Dubai. Upon returning I get it appraised in order to add it to homeowner's insurance. A couple of times I have been offered double what I paid. And always you can tell that even the experienced jeweler get a gleam and an interest. And I have noticed that when my wife wears some of it people comment on where could I have possibly bought it. You get the point.

      Further, keep in mind that dealers are much more apt to haggle a bit on the price..... it is even expected. So yes I suppose on could make money if one had a good eye and a place to sell it where people would appreciate it.

  8. QUESTION:
    Is it good to buy gold from Dubai?
    In case you want to resell it and make money? Is it affordable?

    • ANSWER:
      As an investment it might be interesting to buy bullion. there. As for jewelry I would not recommend it: as in all the Gulf States the gold there is 24 carats. This increases its intrinsic value but as the metal is very soft (lacking copper or bronze as the 21 carat kind does) the jewelry will very rapidly scratch beyond repair.

    • ANSWER:
      Okay, here i am, with the experience of gold, i can advice you to visit gold souq in Dubai,
      There's hundreds of gold shop you can choose from. The best way to is to go at least five or six shop and bargain. The rule here is bargain! Bargaining can be lots of fun and see how they reduce the price sometimes 40% fro the initial price. The jewelry assistant will normally ask, "what is your price?".As a tourist normally 10% less but believe me, they already mark up the price more or less 45%. Be confident and walk out if they are not satisfying, there's a lot other shops that wants your money.

  17. QUESTION:
    Can i buy gold jewelry online from dubai?
    Hello i have heard gold jewelry is cheap in dubai i was just wondering if they had a website where i could order from dubai to usa.

    • ANSWER:
      Why should gold be cheap in Dubai? If it were, the rich people would buy and sell it to get even richer. While the price of gold may vary a bit between countries, the difference isn't all that much. You'd have to buy a lot to make any money. It's like buying and selling currency. Banks can do this, but they only make a small part of one cent on each dollar. They have to buy and sell in the millions to make a significant amount. Good is the same way.
      Even if you could order gold from Dubai, would you get it? Or you would get point painted lead? Would you be able to get a refund? No.

  19. QUESTION:
    How to buy gold in Dubai? Help!?
    1. 'm travelling via Dubai (9 hrs). If I get transit visa, then where should I go to buy gold safely?
    2. If I don't, in which shop can I buy gold in the Intl airport? (maybe a few pieces of jwelery and not much)
    3. How to bargain outside?
    4. What is the average price in Dhms that I should look for? (Tell me, if it is above "this much" on that day don't buy)
    5. Is gold jewelery from dubai good or breakable?
    6. Should I look for bullions instead of jewelry pieces?
    7. Any add details would help. Thanks a ton. Do answer esp with personal experiences.

    • ANSWER:
      First get a transit visa. If flying with Emirates, a transit visa will be provided by the Airline. Otherwise you have to approach the Marhaba Service to obtain a 96 hrs. visa.

      1. You can take a cab and visit the gold souq where you can bargain.
      2. You can shop in any jewelery shop at the Airport. No bargain there, but you can ask for a "special discount".
      3. Example: seller says Dhs 1.000, you say 700, then the seller will tell you a price lower than Dhs 1.000 and you will raise your offer, and so on until you'll meet on a price acceptable for both of you. The seller always will make his profit, so don't worry. Most important: never let the seller know how bad you would like an item. Act like you would leave the shop and the seller may come after you with a better offer.
      4. There is no average price. Sellers will go by the actual gold price of the day. You can check the actual price at the business part of the daily.
      5. You'll get what you pay for.
      6. If buying gold as an investment, then yes.
      7. By buying a gold barren, you pay the actual price + commission. By buying jeweleries, you also pay the price of i.e. stones, ornaments etc.

  20. QUESTION:
    Gold in Dubai?
    Hi All,

    Can anyone tell me the current rate of gold in Dubai. I am trying to understand if it is really worth to buy gold bar in Dubai and get it to India. Is it really cheaper to buy gold in Dubai than in India.

    Regards,
    UG.

    • ANSWER:
      As far as the rates goes there is not much difference ,it will be almost same or little lower in Dubai. Only thing is the purity of gold which matters that too in case of ornaments. 22 c of Dubai will be 22c but of India only the seller knows. I was in Dubai for some time and found the difference my self. In case of genuine biscuit there may not be any difference in purity. However you may find some difficulty in custom clearance if you bring biscuit,because it attract duty and one can bring only specified quantity and above it one has to pay duty.

    I can really use something similar to a Garrett gold pan.

    • ANSWER:
      Being in Dubai this may sound odd, but you may consider joining the GPAA (Gold Prospectors Association of America)
      For 79.00 usd plus shipping you get a nice riffled pan , a snuffer bottle 6 bi-monthly magazines with lots of great information on all aspects of gold prospecting, a claims guide (a directory of all the claims leased by the club in the U.S.and Canada) and quarterly updates, a good video showing how to prospect, a hat and some other stuff. You can request no mining guide and save 20 bucks.
      There are lots of ads in the magazine for retailers of lots of prospecting gear. I've been panning now about 5 years and really enjoy this hobby. I even bought a dredge this winter and can't wait to get out there this year.
      If you want to get your gold fever really fired up visit http://www.goldprospectors.org/ . This is the GPAA website. You will find lots of links to valuable information including membership info and a message board to communicate with other prospectors.
      I hope you get your pan and find lots of gold !!

  32. QUESTION:
    buy gold coins/bar in dubai airport?
    Hello!!!

    can we buy gold coins/bar in duty free shops @ dubai airport?
    what is the limit we can carry to India? Will we have any problems at customs in India?

    • ANSWER:
      I can't remember that there was any shop that specifically sold gold coins although there might have been one or two souvenir type coins available.
      Dubai Airport is not the best place to buy gold coins. If they are available they will be neither cheap nor good.
      You will also have to declare any gold coins you buy in Dubai to Indian customs on arrival and pay the applicable duty and the value of a real gold coin will exceed the duty free allowance.

  33. QUESTION:
    i want to buy gold for personal ,will gold prices come down?
    im leaving in dubai,i want buy gold,will gold prices come down?

    • ANSWER:
      Gold prices are projected to keep going up. You're best to buy sooner rather than later to capitalize. I believe gold just recently hit 5 an ounce, and I read a future somewhere that gold could reach 00 before 2010.
      Gold is always a good investment because deposits are not infinite. 5% assets in gold would be a good start, but anything more than 20% and you should be consulting a financial advisor before making a move.

    Also could i just buy and then ship to myself in US?

  35. QUESTION:
    Where can I buy gold and silver bullion bars in Dubai and/or Abu Dhabi?

    • ANSWER:
      Best 2 or 3 places I know of in Dubai are at the Gold Souk (Deira):

      I recommend Lakhoo +971 (4) 2266501, in one of the side streets of the covered mall of the Souq. Ask most of the shopkeepers where it is and they will direct you. Lakhoo have 2 stores next to each other, first one (the one I mainly frequent) is more a bulk dealer which sells larger quantities of metals (ie bars 1kg of silver & up, Ten Tola or approx 100g of Gold & up). They have low premiums & up to the minute pricing. Next door is a coin/jewelery dealer which deals in small quantities, but their premiums are higher.

      There is also Swiss Gold (cant vouch for them they have short opening hours) Anjali +971 (4) 2253487 (were all but out of stock of smaller coins last week) and another one near Anjali which I don't know the name of.

      There is a shortage of Silver & smaller denominations of Gold at the moment (you probably already know that if you're a metals bug), and it may be best to call ahead to save you the parking hassles at the Souk. It can take awhile to find parking day or night, so it may be better to take a taxi from Deira, but DON'T do that near closing time or you'll have trouble finding a cab back again. Lakhoo also don't open until around 5pm on Fridays, but every other day they seem to be open from the morning until 9pm sharp.

  36. QUESTION:
    What is the U.S. customs duty on lengths of gold chain from Dubai?
    I would like to buy some lengths of 18K+ gold chain from Dubai? The chains would not have clasps. Does anyone know what the duty is for U.S. citizens entering the U.S. for gold chains? Where is the best place to buy in Dubai? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know where the best places to buy gold in Dubai are, but I believe your HTS number for US import is:

      71131921 Gold rope necklaces and neck chains.

      Which as a MFN (Most Favored Nation Rate) of 5%, which should be the rate for Saudi Arabia. This means your duty will be 5% over the value you paid for the item.

      Say it costs 3000 USD X 5% Duty = 150 USD duty total.

      However, if you are importing it as a tourist and will only be using the item for personal use, not re-selling it, there may be a ruling which allows you to import it with minimum duty.

      Consult a US Customs Broker (See Reference Below). They're apt to charge maybe 30 USD for the consultation, if at all. They'll tell you the ruling number and how much to pay.

      Also, you can just arrive at the US Airport and declare to the Customs Official this item for them to assist you immediately for you to pay your duties and taxes applicable. Do declare in any case, though.

    • ANSWER:
      For everyone reading this question: The question is worded exactly like a scam - transport money or something of value - that you should be able to do yourself at a much cheaper cost than hiring a sucker to do your dirty work.

      Gold is rarely transported to a buyer. You are given a certificate of ownership for a certain amount of gold and the gold is kept in a secure location.

    I will be traveling from Australia to New Delhi in November this year. The flight is via Dubai. looking at the changing gold prices i am thinking of buying 1 kg of gold and sell it in India.
    I need information on : -
    Where to buy the gold from? (Australia, Dubai, or Malaysia)
    How much is the tax in India for gold import?
    How much profit am I Looking at by investing in 1Kg gold?

    • ANSWER:
      Gold sells for approximately ,700US/Kilo. They are apt to think you are a terrorist.

      Are their duty free shops in the Dubai airport? As you have surmised, there will be import duty when you reach India, hopefully somebody will tell you how much.

      By the time you do currency conversions, import/export duties, taxes, etc, I suspect you will actually lose money.

      Good Luck,

      Grandpa

    I am interested both in Gold Jewellery and Gold bars as investment.

    • ANSWER:
      i don't think gold is any "cheaper" here or there. gold is gold. there's the New York price, the London price, the Zürich price, and maybe a few other markets, and they are all priced in US Dollars. the prices of these different markets do not vary much from one to another. you will pay pretty much the same US Dollar price wherever you are translated into whatever non-US currency you happen to be using at the moment (plus dealer's markup, commissions, etc.).

  48. QUESTION:
    gold cost in dubai?
    hi,what does cost to buy 10gm 22carat gold in dubai in n.z dollar?

    • ANSWER:
      You will have to make the exact calculation by yourself as it depends on the gold price on the world market, the NZ $ exchange rate and the quality you are looking for.

      The gold price in Dubai is floating, and is in line with the world market price. Once you enter the Gold Souq in Deira you will see the current rate per ounce displayed in US $ on the main entrance near the Deira bus station. I cannot recommend to you to buy gold when you are in a hurry, or in an airport shop. Remember that you will hardly get a real bargain especially at the airport as the whole country has no sales tax!

      Never buy at the first 3 to 4 shops you see. Compare the quality (which is pretty good) of your merchandise, then start bargaining. If you pay more than today's world market price, they made great business with you... so bargain harder. Especially in a period where the price is rising, they have bought their gold for less which opens up further terrain for bargaining. For a plain gold chain I pay around 10 to 20% less per ounce than market rate. Only gold which has been worked on a lot (such as great colliers etc.) will be more expensive than the market rate.

      You might also mention to the salesperson you had been to Saudi Arabia where gold usually is not more expensive than the world market price even if a lot of work was needed.

    6. Should I look for bullions instead of jewelry pieces?
    7. Any add details would help. Thanks a ton. Do answer esp with personal experiences.

    • ANSWER:
      Go to the gold souq and start bargaining. Everything is subject to negotiation. The shop keeper knows his business and will read you. Act desperate and he will take you for more than it's worth. Act like you don't care and know what you are doing and you will get a good deal.
