Dear Mr. Ewing:

 

This letter is in response to the letter dated July 11, 2022, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) addressed to CCSC Technology International Holdings Ltd (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of reference, we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. An amendment to the draft registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed to accompany this letter.

Additionally, revise the offering summary, risk factors and description of share capital sections, as applicable, to disclose the issuance of the warrants.
