Compliance You Can Verify, Not Just Claim
How TriForge meets logistics, customs and precious-mineral compliance standards on every shipment we handle.
Compliance You Can Verify, Not Just Claim
TriForge moves two very different kinds of cargo — general freight, and gold or diamonds worth stopping to check twice. Both are handled against a documented set of standards, not left to informal practice, so a client, bank, insurer or regulator can always ask “how was this handled” and get a real answer.
Logistics & Freight Compliance
Every general cargo shipment we handle — by air through Lungi International Airport, by sea through the Queen Elizabeth II Quay, or by road across Sierra Leone and the wider Mano River region — moves in line with standard international freight-forwarding practice and Sierra Leone’s customs requirements. That means:
- Customs documentation, export permits and certificates of origin prepared and lodged with the relevant Sierra Leone authorities before a shipment moves.
- Know-Your-Customer checks on shippers and consignees for every booking, not only mineral cargo.
- A documented chain of custody from collection to delivery, with a named custodian accountable at every handover.
- Insurance cover available and arranged on request, matched to the declared value of the shipment.
- Safe handling and, where applicable, correct declaration of dangerous or restricted goods.
- Confidentiality of client, cargo and routing information — shipment details are shared only with the parties who need them to move or clear the cargo.
Gold & Diamond Compliance
Precious minerals leaving Sierra Leone move through some of the most heavily regulated supply chains in world trade, and our Special Service division is built around that reality rather than around it:
- Kimberley Process alignment. Diamond parcels are handled and documented in line with Kimberley Process Certification Scheme principles, supporting conflict-free provenance for every consignment we move or store.
- Sierra Leone mineral regulations. Gold and diamond shipments are coordinated with the relevant Sierra Leone mineral and export authorities, so licensing, valuation and export formalities are addressed before a parcel leaves our custody.
- Know-Your-Customer & Anti-Money-Laundering checks on every buyer, seller and investor party to a mineral transaction, not just the largest ones.
- Assay, weighing and grading records for every parcel tested or stored, forming a signed record the client can rely on independently of us.
- Tamper-evident sealing and dual-custody handover at every transfer point — vault to vehicle, vehicle to port or airport — with seal numbers checked and logged at each step.
- No representation of undocumented interests as fully licensed operations. Where a community mining opportunity lacks complete formal documentation, we present it as requiring due diligence — never as something it isn’t.
Compliance coordination is not a substitute for independent legal, regulatory or financial due diligence. Clients, investors and buyers are encouraged to obtain their own professional advice before entering into any transaction.
