Where the Bars Can Go

Allocated gold does not have to stay in the vault. You choose where it goes, and you can choose differently later.

  • To a vault or facility of your choice

    Delivery to a private vault, a corporate facility or a bank in the destination jurisdiction, under secure transport throughout.

  • Between vault jurisdictions

    Move the holding from Hong Kong to Singapore, or onward to another location, without selling it.

  • Collection in Hong Kong

    Handover in person at a designated release point in Hong Kong, arranged in advance, with the collecting person named and verified beforehand.

  • Cross-border, worldwide

    Most destinations are reachable through the carrier’s network.

  • Know before you commit

    Route, receiving entity and screening are cleared before a pickup is scheduled, so a route that will not work shows up at planning stage rather than at a border.

How Delivery Works

From instruction to confirmed delivery, in five steps.

Request

You give the allocation reference, the destination and receiving entity, and a preferred timing window.

Validation

The bars are matched against your allocation record and confirmed available for release.

Handover

The vault releases the bars to the carrier against written receipt — that receipt is the handover.

Transit

The carrier moves the metal under its own security and routing control.

Confirmation

Delivery is confirmed at destination, and you receive the release instruction, the handover confirmation, the tracking record and the delivery receipt — reconciled against your allocation record.

Moving Gold Across Borders

Where the gold ends up carries tax, liquidity and reporting consequences. Those get settled before the bars move, not at the border.

  • Covered up to USD 50 million

    Cover is arranged for each shipment against its declared value, with a ceiling of USD 50 million per shipment, and runs from the moment the carrier takes possession at the vault to confirmed delivery.

  • Armored, and supervised where it matters

    Movement runs in armored vehicles with trained personnel. On air legs, specialist supervision on the tarmac can be arranged — the point in the journey where high-value cargo is most exposed.

  • Visible in transit

    Shipments are tracked through the carrier’s logistics platform, so where your bars are is not something you have to ask about.

  • Packed by the carrier, not by you

    Bars are collected from the vault and prepared and packaged for shipment by the carrier’s own team, so packing standards — and the risk that comes with them — are not left to you.

  • Customs handled end to end

    Declarations, classification and the accompanying documents are prepared at both ends. Where gold only passes through a jurisdiction, temporary-import and bonded free-trade-zone arrangements avoid a formal import.

Insurance and Responsibility in Transit

Carrier insurance
Cover runs from the moment the carrier takes possession at the vault until confirmed delivery. The carrier is not an insurer of your shipment — a claim is made to the carrier directly, not to a third-party underwriter.
What is covered
Cover applies to physical loss or damage in handling and movement. Price movement is not a transit risk and stays with the counterparty holding title.
Where responsibility sits
The vault’s responsibility ends at handover and the carrier’s begins there, running to delivery. Golden Ark Reserve coordinates the instruction and documentation and does not underwrite transit risk.

Frequently asked questions

Can a shipment be covered above USD 50 million?
USD 50 million is the ceiling for a single shipment. Larger movements are either split into separate shipments or agreed in writing in advance, before anything is scheduled.
Yes. Delivery is by whole bars, identified by serial number. The rest stays allocated to you in the vault, unchanged.
A receiving entity or representative you name in the instruction, screened and verified before release. The carrier hands over against written receipt and identity check.
