China’s Gold Market
- Shanghai Gold Exchange: China’s main physical gold exchange, where local prices can trade at a premium or discount to London.
- Purity: most Chinese gold jewellery is pure gold, marked 足金 (zu jin, 99.0%+) or 足金999.
- Demand: Chinese households and the People’s Bank of China are major buyers, which affects the world price.
Bringing Gold from Abroad to Pakistan
- Pakistan’s baggage rules limit how much gold jewellery a passenger can bring in without duty, and gold bars are treated differently from personal jewellery. Check the latest Pakistan Customs and FBR rules before you travel.
- Keep the original invoice showing karat, weight and price; it helps at customs and when you sell.
- When you sell foreign gold in Pakistan, jewellers pay the Pakistani rate for its karat minus kat, not the price you paid abroad.
- Read how resale works: what is kat in gold.
