Yes, of course, but I was asking what level of due diligence is expected to verify that the chain does not violate sanctions.

In other words, when a problem like this is discovered, the US State Department will assign more blame to the company if their attempts to avoid violating sanctions fell below a threshold; what is that threshold for the arts industry.

You should ask a qualified lawyer. No one on this forum is going to know the right answer.
