What is a Kilogram? Platinum 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 platinum spot price works out to — TWD.
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. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
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 Platinum in Taiwan: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per kilogram, the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into Taiwan Dollar. Physical buyers in Taiwan pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Taipei, through bank gold passbooks and jewellers. Buyers there generally watch the Bank of Taiwan posted buy/sell price per gram as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium are sold mainly as jewellery or industrial material and are taxed as ordinary goods. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in TWD can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same kilogram of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Taiwan are Bank of Taiwan gold passbook accounts, bank counters selling bars, jewellery stores and online dealers. The products most often quoted locally include Bank of Taiwan 1 tael bars, gold passbook grams, 9999 jewellery.
Local conventions. Taiwan uses its own 37.5 g tael (台兩) and the Bank of Taiwan gold passbook is the most common way to hold metal without delivery. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per kilogram with the live platinum 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 TWD quote.
