Buy order range and broker fees (regional hauling)

Now that I've significantly lowered my broker fees with excellent standing, I've been able to include more low-margin high volume items in my portfolio. Some are profitable even within a few hops.

But, could there be trouble in paradise? When I place a buy order at my trade hub, but specify a range of, say, 5 jumps, there are many stations that I have much lower standing with. Will I end up paying a higher broker fee if someone fills (part of) my order from another station? (Which would actually result in a net loss on some trades...)

For example, suppose I place a buy order at Amarr VIII (Emperor Family), with a range of 5 jumps. It will say my broker fee is 0.45%. But then suppose someone fills the order at Hedion V (Court Chamberlain), which I have 0.0 standing with (so my fee would be 0.75% if I placed the order there). Which fee would I actually pay when the buy order is filled, 0.45% or 0.75%?

I haven't been able to find an answer to this. I think it uses the home station's fee (i.e., 0.45% in my case), but can anyone confirm either way?

The fee is displayed when you first set up the order, or whenever you modify it. That means it's from the "home" station where the order radiates from.
