SEC comment letter dated January 11,
2016 about Registration Statement on Form F-1
File No. 333-208583
Dear Ms. Long:
On behalf of Hebron Technology Co., Ltd. (the
“Registrant”, “Hebron Technology” or the “Company”) and in response to the comments set forth
in your letter dated January 11, 2016, we are writing to supply additional information and to indicate the changes that have been
made in the enclosed Pre-Effective Amendment 1 (the “First Amendment”) to our Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed
on December 16, 2015 (the “Registration Statement”). Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the First Amendment unless otherwise defined herein. We have also enclosed five redlined copies of the First Amendment
compared against the Registration Statement for your review.
Our Services, page 48
1. We note your disclosure that you hope to expand your customer base in the future to the semi-conductor, electronic, and other
clean industries. Please revise, consistent with your response to comment 3 of our letter dated July 13, 2015, that you have no
near term plans to provide services in any of these industries.
We acknowledge the comment and confirm that
we have no near-term plans to provide services in the semiconductor, electronic or other cleaning industries. Consistent with this
intent, we have revised the first paragraph on page 48 to read as follows:
We specialize in installing valves and pipes for customers
that require customized fluid control system solutions. We also specialize in designing and implementing solutions for industries
with a high need for sanitary fluid systems. Currently, we have customers for our services in the industries of pharmaceuticals,
dairy products, water purification, beverage production, cosmetics and chemical industry. We hope to expand our customer base in
the future to the semi-conductor, electronic and other clean industries, but we have no near-term plans to provide services
in any of these industries. Due to the requirements in these industries to avoid contamination, we focus on designing systems
that may be easily and frequently cleaned and maintained. We use skilled workers to install these systems. Because the scope of
a given project can be relatively large, our revenues per installation project tend to be much higher than the average product-only
order; accordingly, installation services make up the largest component of our revenues. Revenues from installation services were
approximately 87%, 84%, 73% and 94% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the years ended December
31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

2. File as exhibits to the registration statement the consents of the six persons about to become directors. See Rule 438 of Regulation
C under the Securities Act.
On January 15, 2016, all the anticipated directors
(Steven Fu, Zuoqiao Sun Zhang, Xuesong Liu, Hua Zhang, Haiying Xiang and Xianpang Hu) have been appointed to be directors of the
Company in the meeting of Board of Directors. As a result, we have had each of such individuals sign a power of attorney rather
than the requested exhibit. The Power of Attorney may be found at page Part II - 6.

4. Provide the information required for the period since the beginning of your preceding three financial years up to the date

We have revised the Related Party Transaction
section to provide the requested information. The revised disclosure may be found on page 71 and reads as follows:
There are no related party transactions
during the period from January 1, 2016 up to February 4, 2016.
For the year ended December 31,
2015, Mr. Anyuan Sun, the Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company, advanced a total of $920,660 to the Company for its working

Company had $Nil due from related party – Zhejiang Xibolun.
As of December 31, 2013, we had

December 31, 2014.

Lock Up, page 92
5. Describe briefly the factors that the placement agent would consider in determining whether to consent to the release of any
of the securities subject to the lock up agreement before its expiration period.
We have clarified that the placement agent
will not consent to the release of any of the securities subject to the lock up agreements before their expiration and have revised
the language on page 92 to reflect this fact. The revised language reads as follows:
Lock Up. We, on behalf of ourselves and any
successor entity, have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, we will not,
for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Lock-Up Period”),
(i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant
any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital
stock of our company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of our company;
(ii) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of capital
stock of our company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of our company
or (iii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences
of ownership of capital stock of our company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be
settled by delivery of shares of capital stock of our company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.
Financial Statements
General
6. Please ensure that your financial statements and corresponding financial information comply with the updating requirements
of Item 8 of the Form 20-F. Refer specifically to the instructions to Item 8.A.4. of Form 20-F.
We have filed with the First Amendment a request
for a waiver from the obligations of Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, as (i) we are not yet a public reporting company in any other jurisdiction
and are not required by any jurisdiction to prepare financial statements, (ii) compliance with Item 8.A.4 is impractical and involves
undue hardship for our company, (iii) our audited financial statements will not be available until April 1, 2015 and (iv) we will
not seek effectiveness of our registration statement if our audited financial statements are older than 15 months at the time of
the offering. Such request has been filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the First Amendment.
7. You have determined that the 15 million common shares issued to Mr. Zuoqiao Sun Zhang represented nominal issuances pursuant
to SAB Topic 4:D. In this regard, you revised your financial statements, which resulted in your now reporting basic earnings per
share amounts of $0.28 for 2014 and $0.25 for 2013 compared to previously reported amounts of $3.41 for 2014 and $3.05 for 2013.
Please help us understand how you determined that these revisions should not be reflected as a correction of an error pursuant
to ASC 250.
We acknowledge the comment and respectfully
advise the Staff that we do not believe these revisions shall be reflected as a correction of error pursuant to ASC 250-10-20,
because these nominal stock issuances and repurchases did not exist at the time the financial statements were prepared. The Company’s
nominal issuances of shares to Mr. Zuoqiao Sun Zhang and related stock split, together with the related stock repurchase, were
fully completed on April 29, 2015 for the purpose of recapitalization before IPO. They were subsequent to our issuance of consolidation
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 on April 10, 2015. In accordance with SAB Topic 4:C, “A
capital structure change to a stock dividend, stock split or reverse split occurs after the date of the latest reported balance
sheet but before the release of the financial statements or the effective date of the registration statement, whichever is later.
Such changes in the capital structure must be given retroactive effect in the balance sheet. An appropriately cross-referenced
note should disclose the retroactive treatment, explain the change made and state the date the change became effective”.
Therefore the Company updated the registration statement and presented “Retroactively restated” on the face of the
consolidated financial statement for this impact.
8. Please advise how you determined that it was appropriate to reflect the repurchase of four million shares on April 29, 2015
on a retroactive basis similar to stock split or dividend pursuant to ASC 260.
We acknowledge the comment and respectfully
advise the Staff that all the existing shareholders and directors of the Company consider the repurchase of four million shares
on April 29, 2015 was part of the company’s recapitalization to result in 12,000,000 common shares issued and outstanding
prior to completion of this offering. This recapitalization of repurchase of four million shares was due to negotiations with our
placement agent regarding the pre-IPO value of our company. Due to the lower enterprise value and minimum per-share IPO price,
our best solution to the valuation issue was to reduce the number of outstanding shares. No cash or other consideration was paid
for this repurchase. The Company believes the repurchase, in substance, is a correction to the nominal issuance of 15 million shares
to Mr. Zuoqiao Sun Zhang, therefore, it was appropriate to reflect the repurchase of four million shares on April 29, 2015 on a
retroactive basis similar to stock split or dividend pursuant to ASC 260.
