AFAIK the US Huawei sanctions are not a blanket "have nothing to do with them at all" but instead apply to telecoms equipment and phones and their components. Don't think software is a component.

There was some talk about banning Huawei access to AOSP but I don't think that ever went through.

And yes sanctions are weird. Finland is sanctioning a lot of Russian business including travel over the border for most part but still there is a train load of copper and nickel ore coming over every day or two.

Finnish–Russian border being closed isn't because of any sanctions, but rather because Russia flooded the border with refugees, up to a point where it even prevented their own citizens from getting back to Russia through the border crossings.
