Typical commission ranges: 1-3% on high-volume commodity trades, 2-5% on manufactured goods, 5-10% on high-value niche or speciality goods. Both buyer and seller principals agree to commission terms in writing before AJG begins working the mandate.

AJG operates as a trade brokerage. In India, trade brokerage does not require specific licensing beyond standard business registration.

AJG does not provide financial advice, legal advice, or investment advice — all of which require separate regulated professional qualifications.
