  1. Can an international diamond buyers license be used in South Africa.ideal from USA

    Will normal export /import license work

    How long does it take for license to be approved

    1. Hi Sanjay, you cannot use an international licence to buy here, you need to apply for a licence in South Africa, import export permit if issued by Sars should work or can be amended for diamond import export. licence process takes 6-8 weeks. If you looking to get into the diamond business and get a licence in South Africa, one of the requirements of the regulator is that you have a technical ability certificate, if you don’t have one, I would recommend to do our online rough diamond grading and evaluation course,

      To give you an idea of the course visit the diamond education portal it will work on your mobile phone as well.

      The fee includes assistance with licence application for a diamond dealers licence and business plan as per the requirements of the mining charter, we will complete and submit for you. Cost to regulator, company R5000 and and additional R5000 for the authorized representative. licence is valid for 5 years. You can have a home office for this purpose.
