British firms are among more than 100 western companies, including the aerospace giant Boeing, which have exported aircraft parts to India that reached Russia, according to customs data.
He said: “ASL Aerospace takes stringent measures in its supply chain to prevent such trade to sanctioned parties including, but not limited to: subscription and monitoring through Creditsafe’s [Politically Exposed Persons] and Sanctions Screening tools, which provide real-time checks with its obligations; and the requirement, for every sale by ASL Aerospace, of an end user statement.
A second firm, ASL Aerospace, based in Devon, appears to have sent about 60 shipments from the UK and US to four Indian firms that were then re-exported to Russia.
Customs data suggest that since 2023 the US aerospace giant Boeing sent at least 80 cargoes to India that were later re-exported in part or in whole to Russia.
In October, the US applied economic sanctions on Shaurya for sending sensitive dual-use parts to Russia, part of a wave of action “to diminish and degrade Russia’s ability to equip its war machine”.
