President Rebhi Allan said on Sunday that “the syndicate has received many
complaints about gold and jewelry sold in misleading ways and sometimes without
invoices”, adding that gold prices are dictated by global markets and are not
subject to daily or seasonal offers and discounts.
He also said that
the syndicate publishes the prices of these commodities through its bulletin.
Allan urged
citizens to purchase from licensed shops and request an official invoice when
buying gold, including details like gold’s caliber, weight, price per gram,
goldsmith’s fee, and the total price.
He said that licensed
merchants pay income tax, a factory allowance for the importer, and customs
fees, stressing that the Jordanian gold industry enjoys trust and competes in
export markets.
