2020 Mercedes-AMG A35 Hatchback

Substituting a high flow cat is also illegal.

EPA requires original or equivalent.  Only way around it is if there is no original or equivalent still available on the market.

I brought this issue to the attention of the folks here this week and was advised to contact the seller.

You are 100% correct, it doesn't matter if it's a dealer or an individual trying to sell this car, once the original cat has been removed title can't transfer legally.  It's a Federal Law that applies, above and beyond any state regulations. There are EPA rules, Federal and State DOT rules that all apply.

Add to that the required paperwork showing it entered legally into the USA as an import, which may also be required by your state to transfer the title.

Would seem to be a relatively simple task to reinstall the cat prior to selling, and offer the aftermarket parts as part of the deal, thereby eliminating the issue, along with copied of the importation papers.

Good luck getting this titled in the USA without all the proper import/border paperwork. You need to present all of these documents, stamped, in order to title in the USA at your state's revenue or DOT office.  They have to be stamped at the border when you bring the car in, after paying the applicable duties to get the car out of the country.

These are not documents you can fill out locally, it has to be done at the border.

EPA Form 3520-1
CBP Form 7501

Not just one or the other of these forms, but ALL of them.
