Does the difference in the acceleration of free fall in different cities take into account when weighing gold?

I wonder if the difference in the acceleration of free fall in different cities is taken into account when weighing gold and other valuable substances? Or is there some special weighing methodology?

With any high-precision weighing, the weighing technique is based either on comparing the weight of the weighed body with the weight of weights or weights of a known mass (lever balances), or when installing the scales, calibration is performed again using weights of a known mass. In all these cases, the influence of the local anomaly of free fall acceleration is compensated.

If weighed on a balance scale, there is no difference.
