Who We Are

A gold trading house anchored in Ras Al Khaimah, reaching the world.

Meru Trading FZ-LLC operates from the Al Hulaila Industrial Free Zone — one of the United Arab Emirates' most established corridors for industrial commerce and bullion logistics. Our mandate is single-minded: the trading of non-manufactured gold to refiners and institutional buyers worldwide.

We pair deep relationships across producing regions with the operational discipline of a free-zone licensee — clear documentation, ethical sourcing, and settlement that closes when it is supposed to.

What we trade.

Our licence covers the trading of non-manufactured gold. Within that focused mandate, we offer a complete set of services to producers, refiners and institutional buyers.

Gold Doré

Semi-pure doré bars sourced directly from licensed producers, traded to LBMA-aligned refineries with full origin documentation and chain-of-custody from mine gate to refinery door.

— 02

Gold Granules

Refined gold granules in 999.9 fineness — supplied to fabricators, jewellery refiners and industrial users with assay certificates and weighbridge-verified shipping packs.

— 03 999.9

Unwrought Bullion

Unwrought gold bars in standard kilobar and tola formats — held with accredited vault partners and ready for institutional settlement inside or outside the UAE corridor.

— 04

Logistics & Vaulting

Coordinated secure transport, customs clearance through RAKEZ, and third-party vaulting partnerships — so gold moves cleanly from origin to refinery without exposure.

— 05

Documentation & KYC

Complete trade files: assay, origin certification, KYC/KYB packs and shipment papers prepared to the standards of major refiners and banking partners.

— 06

Cross-Border Settlement

Trade structuring through the UAE banking corridor — letters of credit, escrow arrangements and bullion-aware settlement workflows designed for international counterparties.

How We Work

A disciplined gold trading workflow.

Every gold transaction follows the same path — predictable for our counterparties, defensible to our compliance partners.

01

Origination

Counterparty introduction, KYC/KYB review, indicative pricing and gold specification (fineness, form, volume) agreed in writing.

02

Assay & Verification

Independent assay of doré or bullion where required, origin documentation reviewed, and trade file assembled to refinery standard.

03

Settlement

Funds and metal moved under agreed terms — escrow, LC or bank-to-bank — through the UAE banking corridor.

04

Delivery

Coordinated logistics from origin or vault to the buyer's nominated refinery, with full chain-of-custody on every kilogram.

Why Meru

Built for serious counterparties.

  • Free-Zone Compliance

    RAKEZ-licensed, operating under the UAE's federal AML framework with full beneficial-ownership transparency.

  • Strategic UAE Location

    Ras Al Khaimah sits at the meeting point of African gold producers, Asian refiners and European institutional capital.

  • Refinery-Grade Documentation

    We prepare gold trade files that pass the desks of the world's leading refiners — assay, origin, weight, all reconciled.

  • Discretion By Design

    Single point of contact, NDA-first conversations, and information walls between counterparties throughout the trade.

In gold, trust isn't marketing — it's the assay report, the bank wire, and the seal on the box. We trade like that's the only thing that matters, because it is.
