We have acted as special Virginia counsel for Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), for the purpose of providing this opinion in connection with the filing by the Company on or about the date hereof of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration and the contemplated issuance and sale from time to time of up to $50,000,000 aggregate offering price of (collectively, the “Securities” and, each, a “Security”) the Company’s: (1) shares of common stock, without par value per share (the “Common Stock”); (2) shares of preferred stock, without par value per share, in one or more series (the “Preferred Stock”); (3) senior or subordinated debt securities, in one or more series (the “Debt Securities”); (4) warrants for the purchase of any of the Debt Securities, the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock or any combination thereof (the “Warrants”); (5) units, which may be comprised of one or more of the other Securities in any combination (the “Units”); (6) rights evidencing the right to purchase the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock or the Debt Securities, in one or more series (the “Rights”); (7) share purchase contracts for the purchase of a specified number of shares of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock or other securities registered under the Registration Statement at a future date or dates (the “Share Purchase Contracts”), which may be issued separately or as part of Share Purchase Units; and/or (8) share purchase units consisting of a Share Purchase Contract and Debt Securities, Warrants, other securities registered under the Registration Statement or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. treasury securities, securing the holders’ obligations to purchase the securities under the Share Purchase Contracts (to the extent constituting securities under the Securities Act issued by the Company, the “Share Purchase Units”); each on terms to be determined by the Company at the time of offering thereof.

You have informed us, and we have assumed, that, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement:

(1) any Debt Securities will be issued under one or more indentures (each, an “Indenture”) between the Company and a trustee to be appointed by the Company and specified in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement;

(2) any Warrants will be issued under one or more warrant agreements (each, a “Warrant Agreement”) between the Company and a financial institution identified therein as warrant agent;

(3) any Units will be issued under one or more unit agreements (each, a “Unit Agreement”) between the Company and a unit agent selected by the Company and identified therein;

(4) any Rights will be issued under one or more rights agent agreements (each, a “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and a bank or trust company, as rights agent, named by the Company in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement; and

(5) any Share Purchase Contracts will be issued under one or more applicable purchase agreements (each, a “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and a purchase contract agent identified therein.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 16 of Form S-3 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

In arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have examined such corporate proceedings, records and documents, and such matters of law, as we have considered necessary for the purposes of this opinion.
