What is a common "red flag" indicator during the inquiry phase of an export transaction in CPI?

A common "red flag" indicator during the inquiry phase of an export transaction in CPI is the situation where there are multiple requests for the same product from the same location. This can raise concerns as it may suggest that the requester is either planning to engage in illegal activities or is involved in a suspicious pattern of procurement that could indicate stockpiling for unauthorized purposes. Such behavior may imply that the inquiries are not legitimate and warrant further investigation.

While other scenarios can also be cause for concern, the frequency and repetition of requests from a specific location stand out as particularly alarming. This pattern could signal that the requester might be attempting to circumvent regulations or could engage in other illicit activities, which is why it is flagged during the inquiry phase of the transaction.
