I had a buyer from Argentina for my unfinished home built aircraft. For tax purposes, the Argentine government required the aircraft not be registered by the FAA. I sent a letter to the FAA requesting a letter stating that the aircraft had not been registered.

The FAA’s reply:

“Your request for the FAA to notify Argentina cannot be accomplished as the aircraft has never been registered.”
