I am a US diplomat and bought my M4 through diplomatic sales in Beijing. Now, I'm headed to the UN. (We don't get tax exemption like foreign diplomats do when they are in the US.) So, I'm trying to confirm if the tax exemption on the NYS DTF-803 form applies when the car has never been registered anywhere in the US / no sales tax has ever been paid to a US state.

Thanks for any tips!

PM you!
