Another one here with a common sense but no practical knowlegde. Anyway would you kindly make a reference to so called “international air transport rules” and specifically to the part dealing with customs regulations (even before considering sanctions)? Hint: anything UN or ICAO is not a rule but just a guidance no one cares about. Anyone in airline spares logistics can tell you what it is in real world to ship and clear parts in Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Russia, Cuba, Chad or Congo. Now add OFAC angle on top of it...
