<<Given A Jew may not mevateil issur lechatchilah
And a corollary
A Jew may not ask a Gentile to mevateil issur on his behalf.
Q1:  what if a Gentile in the course of producing X (eg gelatin)
Is mevateil issur lechatchilah but lav davka for a Jew. If a Jew later
buys it, is it huvrar lemafreI'a?
Q2: Does putting the Gentile process under a kosher supervising agency
tantamount to being mevateil the issur lechatchila for the eventual
Jewish purchaser?>>

RMF has a teshuva allowing ice cream even though it contains small
amounts of Gelatin which might be davar hamamid.

Thus, it was obvious to RMF that once it is batel by the company
one can buy it lechatchila and give a hechsher,

BTW why are you so sure you can't ask a goy to be mevatel. Amira
le-nochri is a halacha in shabbat not necessarily in all halachot
