French term or phrase: commission de transport
« Contrairement aux dispositions de l'alinéa précédent, pour le transport routier de marchandises, pour la location de véhicules avec ou sans conducteur, pour la commission de transport ainsi que pour les activités de transitaire, d'agent maritime et de fret aérien, de courtier de fret et de commissionnaire en douane, les délais de paiement convenus ne peuvent en aucun cas dépasser trente jours à compter de la date d'émission de la facture».

What should I use to translate "commission de transport" if I'm talking about forwarding agent, shipping agent, airfreight forwarder, freight broker and customs agent subsequently ?
