What is a Kilogram? Palladium weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The kilogram bar is the workhorse of the Asian wholesale market and the deliverable size on the Shanghai Gold Exchange. One kilogram equals 1000 grams, or 32.15075 troy ounces, which at today's palladium spot price works out to — CHF.
Where it is used. Refiners, banks and large dealers move metal in 1 kg bars; for silver the standard wholesale unit is a 1 000 oz or 30 kg bar. The unit is the trading standard in wholesale and institutional trade.
Pricing conventions. Kilogram pricing shows the smallest premium of any retail-accessible size, which is why dealers quote it when comparing buy-back offers or valuing an entire holding. Palladium is almost entirely an industrial metal, so a retail quote in this unit is a conversion from the ounce price rather than a rate you will see posted in a shop.
Good to know. A kilogram equals 32.1507 troy ounces — not 32, a difference worth several hundred currency units at today's gold price.

Buying Palladium in Switzerland: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per kilogram, the price you see here is the international XPD spot price converted into Swiss Franc. Physical buyers in Switzerland pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Zurich, home to the world's largest gold refineries. Buyers there generally watch the Zurich spot market quoted per kilogram as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver carries 8.1% VAT, while platinum and palladium in investment form can be VAT-exempt when bought in recognised bar sizes. Palladium is dominated by industrial buyers, so retail coins and bars are scarce and premiums move sharply with supply news. That is why the shop price of palladium in CHF can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same kilogram of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Switzerland are UBS and cantonal bank counters, refiner-linked dealers (PAMP, Argor-Heraeus, Valcambi), free-port vault storage and online dealers. The products most often quoted locally include PAMP Suisse 1 oz bars, Valcambi CombiBar, 100 g bars, Vreneli coins.
Local conventions. Around two thirds of the world's gold is refined in Switzerland, so bar branding and assay certificates are unusually important to local buyers. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per kilogram with the live palladium price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline CHF quote.
