The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) was established in 2003 to prevent conflict diamonds from entering the global market. It remains the primary international framework for rough diamond supply chain integrity.
Under the Kimberley Process, participating countries certify that rough diamond shipments are conflict-free. Each shipment must be accompanied by a Kimberley Process certificate confirming the origin and status of the diamonds.
The scheme requires participating governments to implement internal controls and import/export certification systems. Traders, dealers and manufacturers are required to verify that their diamond supply chains comply with KPCS requirements.
At Al Ain Metals, rough diamond sourcing adheres to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. Each rough diamond consignment is accompanied by Kimberley Process certificates, ensuring conflict-free supply with full chain-of-custody documentation.
Buyers receive complete documentation including Kimberley Process certificates, commercial invoices and customs declarations, providing full traceability from source to export.
