Government Gold & Diamond Office Sierra Leone :: GGDO

Web Page Under Construction

The Government Gold and Diamond Office ( 1985 in pursuance of government policy to rationalize the foreign exchange regime in Sierra Leone, is now the Gold and Diamond Division (GDD) within the National Revenue Authority (NRA). Functions of GDD are:

  1. the valuation of gold and diamonds for export; and

  2. the collection of export charges, taxes and royalties on behalf of the government.

GDDO has become extremely important since the UN Security Council Resolution 1306 of July 2000 on conflict diamonds. We now handle the certification of all diamonds exported legally from Sierra Leone. For administrative purposes it falls under the National Revenue Authority but its technical function is co-ordinated by the Mines Division. This GGDO Official website will soon be updated.

  Sierra Leone Gold Export License

The GGDO, The Government Gold and Diamond Office in Freetown Sierra Leone is the government agency in charge of issuing all export licenses for Gold and Diamonds if you want to export these commodities out of the country.

Such licenses can cost up to $45,000 per year, and without purchasing a license, or being able to use someone else’s, you will not be able to get your Kimberley Process Certificate to take the diamonds out of the country.

As of today, there are only 21 Companies with current Diamond Exporter’s Licenses, 40 with Diamond Exporter’s Agent Licenses, and 47 with Diamond Exporter’s Agent Certificate.

Most people will show you a fake license, and purchasing from these scammers can land you straight to prison, not to mention the fact that you will most likely lose your money. You will also need a Diamond Dealer’s License if you decide to purchase rough diamonds on your own.

If you decide to purchase rough diamonds in Sierra Leone, GGDO can save you lots of time, money and headaches with our operations on the ground in Freetown. Feel free to contact us at info@ggdosierraleoneonline.com.
