    Response to the Staff’s Comments on

    Registration Statement on Form F-3

    Filed December 26, 2024 (File No. 333-284050)

Dear Mr. Matthew Derby:

Hongli Group Inc. (“we”
or the “Company”) hereby provides responses to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) contained in the letter dated January 7, 2025 (the “Letter”) regarding the Company’s
registration statement on Form F-3 filed on December 26, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”). Contemporaneously, the Company
is submitting the Amendment No.1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”) via Edgar.

The Staff’s comments
are repeated thereafter in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. Page references in the text of this response letter
correspond to the page numbers of Amendment No.1. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used herein as defined in Amendment
No.1.

Registration Statement on Form F-3

General

 1. Please provide a detailed legal and factual analysis of why this offering is not a primary offering
of your common stock and why the selling stockholders are not identified as underwriters. In this regard, we note the size of this offering
relative to the number of shares of common stock held by non-affiliates and the current public float, the nature of your relationship with
the selling stockholders is unclear, and the amount of time that the selling stockholders have held their shares. In formulating your
response, please consider Securities Act Rule 415 and Interpretations 212.15, 612.09 and 612.12 of our Securities
Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.

Response: We have considered
Securities Act Rule 415 and Interpretations 212.15, 612.09 and 612.12 of the Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations
(“C&DI”), and in particular the factors set forth in C&DI 612.09, regarding whether a purported secondary offering
is really a primary offering in which the Selling Shareholders (as defined below) are acting as underwriters selling on behalf of an issuer.
Based on the factors set forth in C&DI 612.09, the Company respectfully submits that the Selling Shareholders are not acting as an
underwriter or otherwise as a conduit for the Company and that the resale of the 60,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Offered Shares”), to be registered by the Registration Statement is not an indirect primary
offering being conducted by or on behalf of the Company.

Background

On November 13, 2024, the Company entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain non-U.S. investors (the “Selling
Shareholders”) for a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”), providing the sale and issuance
of 60,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, for a total purchase price of US$33,000,000 at $0.55 per share.
On December 5, 2024, the transaction contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement was closed. Upon closing, the Company issued a
total of 60,000,000 Ordinary Shares to the Selling Shareholders following receipt of gross proceeds of RMB239,984,300, approximately equivalent
to US$33,000,000. The securities sold in the Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 903 of Regulation S (“Regulation S”)
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On the same date, in connection with
the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement provided, among other things, that the Company will as soon as reasonably
practicable, and in any event no later than 30 days after the closing date of the Offering, file with the SEC a registration statement
registering the resale of the Offered Shares. The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration
statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof.

All of the Selling Shareholders acquired
their securities in the Company under this Registration Statement in connection with the Private Placement.

Analysis

In an effort to assist registrants
in determining whether an offering by the Selling Shareholders may be characterized as a secondary offering that is eligible to be made
on a shelf basis under Rule 415(a)(1)(i), the Staff issued C&DI 612.09. C&DI 612.09 provides as follows:

612.09. It is important to identify
whether a purported secondary offering is really a primary offering, i.e., the Selling Shareholders are actually underwriters selling
on behalf of an issuer. Underwriter status may involve additional disclosure, including an acknowledgment of the seller’s prospectus
delivery requirements. In an offering involving Rule 415 or Form S-3, if the offering is deemed to be on behalf of the issuer, the Rule
and Form in some cases will be unavailable (e.g., because of the Form S-3 “public float” test for a primary offering, or because
Rule 415(a)(1)(i) is available for secondary offerings, but primary offerings must meet the requirements of one of the other subsections
of Rule 415). The question of whether an offering styled a secondary one is really on behalf of the issuer is a difficult factual one,
not merely a question of who receives the proceeds. Consideration should be given to how long the selling shareholders have held the shares,
the circumstances under which they received them, their relationship to the issuer, the amount of shares involved, whether the sellers
are in the business of underwriting securities, and finally, whether under all the circumstances it appears that the seller is acting
as a conduit for the issuer.

Each of the above factors mentioned
in the last sentence of C&DI 612.09 is considered below.

Factor 1: How long the Selling
Shareholders Have Held the Offered Shares.

The Selling Shareholders have held
the Offered Shares for approximately one and a half months, having purchased them in the Private Placement on December 5, 2024. Under
the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Selling Shareholders made customary investment and private placement representations to the Company.
Importantly, the actual issuance of and payment for the Offered Shares was not conditioned on the prior effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or on the Selling Shareholders’ ability to resell any of the Offered Shares. The foregoing representations strongly weigh
towards the conclusion that the Selling Shareholders acquired the securities for investment purposes, rather than with an intent to distribute
the Offered Shares on behalf of the Company or to otherwise act as statutory underwriters.

Additionally, the Company has reviewed
the Staff’s historical guidance on secondary offering registrations as set forth in C&DI 116.19, which contemplates that a valid
secondary offering may occur immediately following the closing of a private placement. The Registration Rights Agreement associated with
the Private Placement required the Company to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Offered Shares within 30 days of
the closing, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective promptly. The Company filed
the Registration Statement in accordance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

    2

The registration of the Offered Shares,
as contemplated in the Registration Statement, aligns with typical private placement transactions where resale registration statements
are filed shortly after closing. While Rule 144 under the Securities Act establishes a six-month holding period as sufficient evidence
of investment intent in certain circumstances, the Commission has recognized that shorter holding periods do not negate investment intent.
As described in C&DI Question 139.11, the Commission permits issuers to register privately issued shares for resale shortly after,
or even prior to, the closing of a private placement transaction if the investor bears market risk at the time of filing the resale registration
statement.

In this case, the private placement
of the Offered Shares to the Selling Shareholders occurred prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, and the Selling Shareholders
bear market risk at the time of the filing and prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Consequently, the existence of
registration rights and the short interval between issuance and filing do not preclude the offering from being secondary in nature. Accordingly,
the Company respectfully submits that the registration of the Offered Shares is consistent with the requirements and guidance applicable
to private placement transactions.

Factor 2: The Circumstances Under
Which the Selling Shareholders Received Their Shares.

As described above, the Selling Shareholders
acquired the Offered Shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Offered Shares were issued in a private placement exempt
from registration in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 903 of Regulation S.

Section 2(c)(ii) of the Securities
Act defines “underwriter” as any person who has purchased from an issuer with a view to, or offers or sells for an issuer
in connection with, the distribution of any security or participates or has a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking,
or participates or has a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking. In the Securities Purchase Agreement,
each Selling Shareholder made customary investment and private placement representations to the Company, including that (i) it is acquiring
the Offered Shares as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons
to distribute or regarding the distribution of the Offered Shares, (ii) it is not a U.S. person as defined under Regulation S, and agrees
that the Offered Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Acts or any applicable
state securities law.

The Company is neither aware of any
evidence that would indicate that these representations were false nor aware of any evidence that the Selling Shareholder has any plan
to act in concert to effect a distribution of their ordinary shares. The Selling Shareholders purchased the securities in an arm’s
length transaction in circumstances that do not indicate that they would be our underwriter. The Company is not aware of the Selling Shareholders
being broker dealers or being affiliated with any broker-dealer.

Furthermore, the Company is not aware
of any evidence that a distribution would occur if the Registration Statement is declared effective. Under the Commission’s rules,
a “distribution” requires special selling efforts. Rule 100(b) of Regulation M defines a “distribution” as “an
offering of securities, whether or not subject to registration under the Securities Act, that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions
by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods.” The Company is not aware
of any facts to suggest that any special selling efforts or selling methods by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholders have or would
take place if the Registration Statement is declared effective. The Company also is not aware of any facts to suggest that the Selling
Shareholders have taken any actions to condition or prime the market for the potential resale of the Offered Shares.

Factor 3: The Selling Shareholders’
Relationship to the Company.

Prior to entering into the Securities
Purchase Agreement related to the Private Placement, the Company had no relationship with the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders
were not provided with any control over the Company’s business pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, and neither the Selling
Shareholders nor any of their affiliates is an affiliate of the Company or act as financial advisors or fiduciaries of the Company.

The registration rights granted to
the Selling Shareholders under the Registration Rights Agreement are customary and are not indicative of any desire of the Selling Shareholders
to sell or distribute the Offered Shares on behalf of the Company, or at all. The Selling Shareholders negotiated for such customary registration
rights to provide liquidity options for their investment, and the registration rights were not granted by the Company for the purpose
of conducting an indirect primary offering. Absent the contractual obligation contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company would not be filing the Registration Statement.

    3

The Selling Shareholders are not acting
on the Company’s behalf with respect to the Offered Shares being registered for resale under the Registration Statement, and the
Company has no contractual, legal or other relationship with the Selling Shareholders that would control the timing, nature or amount
of resales of such shares following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or whether the Offered Shares are ever resold at all
under the Registration Statement.

Finally, the Company will not receive
any of the proceeds from any resale of shares by the Selling Shareholders under the Registration Statement.

Factor 4: The Amount of Shares
Involved.

The Company is seeking to register
60,000,000 ordinary shares for resale, which represents approximately 81.7% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares,
and approximately 446.5% of the public float.

While the number of shares being registered
is a factor considered by the Staff in determining whether an offering should be deemed to be a primary or secondary offering, we submit
that undue weight should not be placed on this single factor. The Staff’s own interpretations support this position. Pursuant to
C&DI 612.09, the number of shares being offered is only one of several factors to be considered in evaluating whether, under all the
circumstances, a purported secondary offering is instead an indirect primary offering. In addition, C&DI 612.12 describes a scenario
in which a controlling holder of more than 70% of the outstanding stock is able to effect a valid secondary offering. The interpretation
states, in relevant part: “A controlling person of an issuer owns a 73% block. That person will sell the block in a registered
“at-the-market” equity offering. Rule 415(a)(4) applies only to offerings by or on behalf of the registrant. A secondary offering
by a control person that is not deemed to be by or on behalf of the registrant is not restricted by Rule 415(a)(4).”

We also submit that emphasis solely
on the number of shares being registered in relation to the Offered Shares outstanding or the public float can severely limit a smaller
public company’s financing alternatives, which are generally few. The Staff has acknowledged this by accepting as valid many secondary
offerings where a significant number of shares are being registered but the facts do not otherwise demonstrate that the Selling Shareholders
are acting as a conduit for the issuer to effect a primary offering.

Factor 5: Whether the Selling
Shareholders are in the Business of Underwriting Securities.

To the Company’s knowledge, none
of the Selling Shareholders is, or has ever been, engaged in the business

Dear Jie Liu:
            We have conducted a limited review of your registration statement and have the
following comments.
            Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing
the requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
            After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information
you provide in response to this letter, we may have additional comments.
Registration Statement on Form F-3
General
1.Please provide a detailed legal and factual analysis of why this offering is not a
primary offering of your common stock and why the selling stockholders are not
identified as underwriters. In this regard, we note the size of this offering relative to
the number of shares of common stock held by non-affiliates and the current public
float, the nature of your relationship with the selling stockholders is unclear, and the
amount of time that the selling stockholders have held their shares. In formulating
your response, please consider Securities Act Rule 415 and Interpretations
212.15, 612.09 and 612.12 of our Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations.

2.Please include an additional risk factor highlighting the negative pressure potential
sales of shares pursuant to this registration statement could have on the public trading
price of your common stock. To illustrate this risk, disclose the average purchase
price of the shares being registered for resale, the percentage that these shares
currently represent of the total number of shares outstanding and as compared to your
public float, and that selling shareholders may have an incentive to sell because they
will still profit on sales because of the lower price that they purchased their shares, as
applicable.
            We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
            Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.

the loan closing as well as the use of proceeds to repay a portion of the loan and amounts still due on the acquisition of Yingxuan Assets.

 ● Revise footnotes (1) and (3) to remove references to the information that that
will be incorporated into the table based on the previous bullet points.

addressed to Hongli Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,”
and “our”). For ease of reference, we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly.
The amendment to Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed to accompany this letter.

Amendment No. 10 to Registration Statement
on Form F-1

Cover Page

 1. Disclose whether your offering is contingent upon on final approval of your NASDAQ listing on your
cover page.  Please ensure the disclosure is consistent with your underwriting agreement.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff
that we have added the disclosures on the cover page of the Registration Statement to state that this offering is contingent upon the
final approval from Nasdaq for us listing on the Nasdaq. There is no guarantee or assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be approved
for listing on the Nasdaq. We will not proceed to consummate this offering if Nasdaq denies our listing.

Further, we revised Section 2.2 of the Underwriting
Agreement to state that the Company has received indication for approval or preliminary approval for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market,
subject only to official notice of issuance, and further that the underwriters and the Company irrevocably agree that this offering will
not be consummated if the Company’s ordinary shares are denied for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Accordingly, we filed the
updated Underwriting Agreement as Exhibit 1.1 of the Registration Statement.

 2. To the extent you intend to proceed with your offering if your NASDAQ listing is denied, revise your
cover page to indicate that the offering is not contingent on NASDAQ approval of your listing application and that if the shares are not
approved for listing, you may experience difficulty selling your shares.  Include risk factor disclosures to address the potential
impact on liquidity and the value of shares.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff
to reference to our response to Comment #1 above that we have added the disclosures on the cover page of the Registration Statement to
state this offering is contingent upon the final approval from Nasdaq for us listing on the Nasdaq. There is no guarantee or assurance
that our Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq. We will not proceed to consummate this offering if Nasdaq denies
our listing.

Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Public Offering
and Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares, page 65

 3. We note recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and stock
price volatility seemingly unrelated to company performance following a number of recent initial public offerings, particularly among
companies with relatively smaller public floats. Revise to include a separate risk factor addressing the potential for rapid and substantial
price volatility and any known factors particular to your offering that may add to this risk and discuss the risks to investors when investing
in stock where the price is changing rapidly. Clearly state that such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to your
actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess
the rapidly changing value of your stock.

Response: We respectfully advise the
Staff that we added the risk factor on page 67 and 68 of the Registration Statement of “[w]e may experience extreme stock
price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult
for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our ordinary shares.”

revise to label the appropriate columns of the financial statements as “restated” and have your independent auditor revise its

 Re: Hongli Group Inc.

Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on
Form F-1

Filed June 17, 2022

File No. 333-261945

Dear Mr. Kauten:

This letter is in response
to the letter dated June 28, 2022, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
addressed to Hongli Group Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of reference, we have recited
the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. The amendment to Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the
“Registration Statement”) is being filed to accompany this letter.

Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement
on Form F-1 filed June 17, 2022

Cover Page

 1. We note your disclosure that the Cayman Islands holding company controls and receives the economic
benefits of the VIE’s business operations through contractual agreements between the VIE and your wholly foreign-owned enterprise
(WFOE) and that the Cayman Islands holding company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. However, neither the investors in the holding
company nor the holding company itself have an equity ownership in, direct foreign investment in, or control of, through such ownership
or investment, the VIE. Accordingly, please refrain from implying that the contractual agreements are equivalent to equity ownership in
the business of the VIE. Any references to control or benefits that accrue to you because of the VIE should be limited to a clear description
of the conditions you have satisfied for consolidation of the VIE under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, your disclosure should clarify that you
are the primary beneficiary of the VIE for accounting purposes.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we revised the disclosure on the cover page and throughout the Registration Statement as applicable.

Commonly Used Defined Terms, page ii

 2. We note that you exclude Hong Kong and Macau from your definition of PRC or China. Please revise to
remove these exclusions from this definition.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we revised the defined term on page ii of the Registration Statement accordingly and made revisions throughout the Registration
Statement as applicable.

Summary Consolidated Financial Data, page
26

 3. We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 8. Please explain to us why the amount
of the consulting fee income/consulting fee services expense in the consolidating income statement worksheet differs from the consulting
fee receivable/payable in the consolidating balance sheet for fiscal 2021. Also revise to refer to these worksheets as condensed consolidating
statements of operations and balance sheets.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff
that the difference between the amount of the consulting fee income/consulting fee services expense in the consolidating income statement
worksheet and the consulting fee receivable/payable in the consolidating balance sheet for fiscal 2021, was because of the different exchange
rates used to translate our functional currency of RMB to U.S. Dollars. The consulting fee income/consulting fee services expense in the
consolidating income statement worksheet were translated at the average rate of exchange of 6.4512 during the reporting period, and the
consulting fee receivable/payable in the consolidating balance sheet were translated at the applicable spot rate of exchange of 6.3731
at December 31, 2021. Further, we revised the reference to these worksheets as condensed consolidating statements of operations and balance
sheets on page 27 to 29 of the Registration Statement.

Use of Proceeds, page 68

 4. Please revise footnote (1) to clarify what is meant by “such portion” of the proceeds will
be used to pay for the Yingxuan Assets in the event Hongli Shandong is not able to obtain the loan from the Bank of Weifang. In this regard,
quantify the additional proceeds that will be used if the loan is not obtained, which appears to be approximately $3.8 million after factoring
in the $7.2 million and $6.2 million already disclosed.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we revised the disclosures on page 25, 68 and 70 of the Registration Statement.

    2

Capitalization, page 70

 5. We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 12. Please further revise to reflect
the $6.2 million of proceeds that you intend to use for the Yingxuan Asset purchase in the “as adjusted” column as a cash reduction.
Also, revise your discussion in footnote (3) to address, in quantified terms, the impact of the pending loan and the intended repayment
of such loan on your cash and total capitalization as well as the impact should you not receive final approval for such loan. Lastly,
revise to refer to the as-adjusted column as pro-forma.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we revised the capitalization table on page 70 of the Registration Statement. Further, we revised the disclosure in footnote
(3) of the capitalization table. Last, we revised the reference to the as-adjusted column as pro-forma on page 70 of the Registration
Statement accordingly.

Dilution, page 70

 6. Please provide us with the calculations that support your net tangible book value of $10,161,237.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff
that the net tangible book value of $10,161,237 is calculated as following:

    December 31,
 2021

    Total assets
    $ 21,845,746

    Less: deferred offering costs (included in prepaid expense and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet)
      605,000

    Less: intangible assets, net
      722,359

    Less: total liabilities
      10,357,150

    Net tangible book value
    $ 10,161,237

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations,
page 74

 7. We note from your disclosures that you expect the steel price to stabilize in the near future and therefore,
you do not think that the trend of increased steel price will have a material impact on your results of operations or liquidity in the
near term. Please revise to clarify what is meant by “near future” and “near term.” Also, explain the basis for this
disclosure and how steel prices to date in fiscal 2022 or other operational strategies impacted your assertions.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff that the expected steel price as previously disclosed in the Registration Statement was estimated
in 2021. We revised the disclosure and provided the historic data of the steel price for investors’ information on page 67 of the
Registration Statement. We removed the expectation of the steel price accordingly.

    3

 8. You state that if the steel price increases by more than 10%, the PRC operating entities will negotiate
with their customers to adjust the selling price on the sales side. Please clarify whether such negotiations relates to existing contracts
or to new contracts with your customer. To the extent you renegotiate existing contracts, please tell us how you account for the contract
modifications and revise your disclosures, both here and in the financial statement footnotes, as necessary.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff
that the PRC operating entities entered into framework agreements with their customers. As the PRC operating entities produce customized
products based on the customers’ demands, the PRC operating entities will negotiate price and number of products with their customers
when a specific order is placed under the framework agreements based on the then market conditions. Once an order is placed, the price
and number of products will not change. Accordingly, we revised the disclosure on page 67 of the Registration Statement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 81

 9. You state that to the extent you are unable to obtain the bank loan to complete Hongli Shandong’s expansion
plan, you will re-allocate 28% of the proceeds from this offering to pay for the Yingxuan Assets. It appears from your disclosures on
page 68 that you already plan to use $6.2 million (or 28%) of the proceeds to pay for these Assets regardless of whether the loan is obtained.
Please explain further this disclosure. To the extent this is intended to convey that you will pay the remaining $11.0 million due for
the Yingxuan Assets from the proceeds of the offering if you are unable to obtain the loan, then revise to clearly indicate as such and
provide the dollar amount of proceeds that you intend to use to fund the expansion plan.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we revised the disclosure on page 86 and 87 of the Registration Statement.

 10. Please revise to include a discussion of the loan agreements with Industrial and Commercial Bank of
China and Agricultural Bank of China that you entered into during fiscal 2022.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we added the disclosures of these loan agreements on page 85 of the Registration Statement.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 11. Please file the asset transfer agreements with Yingxuan regarding the acquisition of the Yingxuan Assets
as exhibits to your registration statement. Refer to Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(C) of Regulation S-K.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we filed the asset transfer agreements with Yingxuan as Exhibit 10.15 of the Registration Statement.

Material Income Tax Consideration, page
164

 12. Please revise both here and in Section C.vi of the East & Concord Partners opinion to state that
the disclosure regarding the PRC tax laws and regulations or interpretations represents the opinion of counsel. Also, revise the disclosure
in the U.S. Federal Income Taxation section to state that it represents the opinion of Messina Madrid Law PA. For guidance, refer to Section
III.B.2 of Staff Legal Bulletin #19.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we revised the disclosure on page 166 of the Registration Statement. We further filed the revised legal opinion of East &
Concord, our PRC counsel, as Exhibit 5.2 of the Registration Statement accordingly.

We appreciate the assistance
the Staff has provided with its comments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our counsel, Arila Zhou, Esq., of

(the “Commission”) addressed to Hongli Group Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For

 1. Refrain
                                            from using terms such as “we” or “our” when describing activities
                                            or functions of a VIE. In this regard, we note your disclosure here and on page ii that the
                                            terms “we,” “us,” “our company” and “our”
                                            may refer to the PRC operating entities.

Response:
Pursuant to the Staff’s comment, we have revised the usage of such terms on the Cover Page and page ii of the Registration
Statement.

 2. Please
                                            disclose whether you have cash management policies and procedures that dictate how funds
                                            are transferred, and if so, describe these policies and procedures. Include corresponding
                                            disclosure in the prospectus summary.

Response:
We respectfully advise the staff that we have not adopted or maintained any cash management policies and procedures as of the date
hereof. Accordingly, we have revised the disclosure on the Cover Page and included corresponding disclosure at pages 7 to 9 and 122 to
124 of the Registration Statement, to explain the structure of cash flows by and within Hongli Cayman, its subsidiaries and PRC operating
entities, and a summary of the applicable regulations.

 3. Please
                                            revise to include a discussion of the rules adopted by the SEC on December 2, 2021 related
                                            to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. Please include corresponding disclosure
                                            in the prospectus summary and risk factors sections.

Response:
Pursuant to the Staff’s comment, we hereby revised the Cover Page to include a discussion of the rules adopted by the SEC on
December 2, 2021 related to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. We have also included corresponding disclosure in the prospectus
summary on page 24 and risk factor entitled “[t]he recent joint statement by the SEC and the PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted
by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging
market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the

Dear Mr. Jeff Kauten:

This letter is in response to the letter dated
March 7, 2022, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) addressed
to Hongli Group Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of reference, we have recited the
Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. An amended Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration
Statement”) is being filed to accompany this letter.

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement
on Form F-1

Summary Consolidated Financial Data

Selected Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Income and Comprehensive Income, page 25

 1. We note that pursuant to the Exclusive Business Cooperation and Management Agreement, Hongli WFOE is
entitled to an annual service fee equal to the total amount of audited net income for Hongli Shandong (VIE). Please tell us how the revenue
and receivable from Hongli Shandong is reflected in the subsidiaries column of your consolidating worksheets. In this regard, we note
that the subsidiaries column includes equity in the VIE and share of income from VIE, however, Hongli WFOE does not have an equity interest
in the VIE. Also, tell us how the expense and amounts due to Hongli WFOE are reflected in the VIE column of your worksheet. Please explain
or revise your consolidating worksheets as necessary.

Response: We respectfully advise
the Staff that Hongli WFOE does not have an equity interest in the VIE and VIE’s
subsidiaries, therefore, we have separately presented the Hongli WFOE from our other subsidiaries, and updated “Share
of income from subsidiaries” to “Benefits through VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries” in the selected condensed consolidating
statements of operations, and “Investments in a subsidiary”
to “Accumulated benefits through VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries” in the selected condensed consolidated balance sheets
on page 27 to 29 of the Registration Statement.

Additionally, we have updated the Hongli WFOE
column to include service fee income from consulting services pursuant to the Exclusive Business Cooperation and Service Agreement (the
“Agreement”) since April 12, 2021, which was the signing date of the Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, Hongli WOFE was
not entitled to received service fee income from VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries until the date of the Agreement. The current year service
fee income was recorded in the “Consulting fee income from VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries” on the selected condensed consolidating
statements of operations, and service fee receivable was recorded in the “Consulting fee receivable due from VIE and VIE’s
subsidiaries” on the selected condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We have also updated
the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries column to include consulting fee in relation to services rendered by Hongli WOFE pursuant to the
Agreement since April 12, 2021 as mentioned above. The current year service fee was recorded in the “Consulting fee in relation
to services rendered by Hongli WFOE” on the selected condensed consolidating statements of operations, and service fee payable was
recorded in the “Consulting fee payable due to Hongli WFOE” on the selected condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We appreciate the assistance the Staff has provided
with its comments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our counsel, Arila Zhou, Esq., of Robinson & Cole LLP,

Dear Mr. Jeff Kauten:

This letter is in response to the letter dated
September 30, 2021, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
addressed to Hongli Group Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of reference, we have recited

Amendment No. 3 to Draft Registration Statement
on Form F-1 submitted September 16, 2021

Prospectus Summary

Summary of Risk Factors, page 11

1. We note your response to prior comment 5.
Please disclose that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time and may exert more control over offerings
conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or
the value of your ordinary shares. Also, acknowledge any risks that any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and
control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely
hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline
or be worthless.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we revised the cover page of the Registration Statement to disclose that the Chinese government may intervene or influence the
operations of our PRC operating entities at any time and may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment
in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in the operations of our PRC operating entities and/or the value of our
ordinary shares. Further, we disclosed on the cover page of the Registration Statement that any actions by the Chinese government to exert
more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly
limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to
significantly decline or be worthless.

Quantitative Metrics of the Company and
our VIE, page 14

2. We note your response to prior comment 8.
Please provide in tabular form a condensed consolidating schedule - depicting the cash flows for the parent, the consolidated variable
interest entities, and any eliminating adjustments separately - as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated
financial statements are required.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we added the disclosure of selected consolidated financial data under “Summary Consolidated Financial Data” on page
21 to 23 of the Registration Statement, including “Selected Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income
(Loss),” “Selected Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets,” and “Selected Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows.”

Risk Factors

The Chinese government exerts substantial
influence..., page 33

3. We note your response to prior comment 11.
Please clarify that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time. Also, clarify that actions by the Chinese
government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers
could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value
of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we added the disclosure on page 39 of the Registration Statement under “The Chinese government exerts substantial influence
over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities
to list on U.S. exchanges nor the execution of VIE agreements, however, if our VIE or the holding company were required to obtain approval
and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange,
continue to offer securities to investors, or materially affect the interest of the investors and decrease our price of Ordinary Shares”
to state that the PRC government authorities may strengthen oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign
investment in China-based issuers like us. It further disclosed that such actions taken by the PRC government authorities may intervene
or influence the operations of our PRC operating entities at any time, which are beyond our control. Therefore, any such action may adversely
affect the operations of our PRC operating entities and significantly limit or hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities
to you and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 59

4. We note your response to prior comment 15.
As previously requested, please further revise here to include a discussion of any limitations on the holding company's ability to transfer
the proceeds from this offering into the PRC. Also, discuss what impact, if any, these limitations may have on your PRC operating entities'
ability to complete their expansion plan. In this regard, it appears that you intend to use a portion of the proceeds to either repay
the bank loan, if obtained, or to fund the expansion project. Similar revisions should be made to your Prospectus Summary disclosures.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we made revisions on page 6 and 116 under “Dividend Distributions or Transfers of Cash among the Holding Company, Its
Subsidiaries, and the Consolidated VIE” and on page 73 to 75 under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of the
Registration Statement to disclose that the proceeds of this offering may be sent back from the holding company to the PRC, and the process
for sending such proceeds back to the PRC may be time-consuming after the closing of this offering. We further disclosed that any foreign
loans procured by our PRC operating entities is required to be registered with China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange
(“SAFE”) or its local branches or satisfy relevant requirements, and our PRC operating entities may not procure loans which
exceed the difference between their respective total project investment amount and registered capital or 2 times (which may be varied
year by year due to the change of PRC’s national macro-control policy) of the net worth of our PRC subsidiary

Further, we added the disclosure on page 7 and
117 under “Dividend Distributions or Transfers of Cash among the Holding Company, Its Subsidiaries, and the Consolidated VIE”
and on page 74 under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of the Registration Statement to state that we may be unable
to use these proceeds to complete Hongli Shandong’s expansion plan until Hongli Shandong receives the proceeds of this offering
in the PRC. In addition, we disclosed that in the event we could not or do not in a timely manner send back the proceeds of the offering
to the PRC, Hongli Shandong may fail to meet its payment and other obligations, including its financial covenants and security coverage
requirement, which could lead to defaults under such loan agreements or other agreements in connection with the expansion plan.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations,
page F-7

5. You state here that in order to comply with
PRC regulations regarding persons and foreign companies investing directly in certain businesses, Hongli Shandong entered into a series
of contractual arrangements with the WFOE in April 2021. However, your revised cover page disclosures state that the business of your
PRC operating entities is not within any sensitive sector for which Chinese law prohibits direct foreign investment in, but rather you
selected a VIE structure to avoid substantial costs and time. Please explain further

these apparent inconsistencies and revise your
disclosures accordingly. Also, ensure that your disclosures throughout clearly address the fact that the company has chosen an organization
structure that has risks and uncertainties that may not otherwise exist if you had direct equity ownership in the operating entity and
clearly explain why you have chosen this structure.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, we revised the disclosure on page F-7 to state that the business of our PRC operating entities is not within any sensitive sector
that PRC law prohibits direct foreign investment in, to avoid the substantial costs and time for regulatory approval to convert our PRC
operating entities into wholly foreign owned entities, Shandong Hongli Special Section Tube Co., Ltd., or Hongli Shandong, entered into
a series of contractual arrangements with Shandong Xiangfeng Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., or Hongli WFOE, which allows Hongli Cayman to consolidate
Hongli Shandong’s operations and financial results in Hongli Cayman’s financial statements.

Further, we added the disclosure on the cover
page, page 3 and 113 of the Registration Statement to state that as we chose such VIE structure, we are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
that may not otherwise exist if we had direct equity ownership in the operating entities. We revised our disclosure on page 2 and 113
of the Registration Statement to state that even though the business of some other China-based operating companies, including Hongli Shandong,
is not within any sensitive sector that Chinese law prohibits direct foreign investment in, some China-based operating companies, as well
as Hongli Shandong, at the discretion of the management, still selected to utilize such VIE structure to list overseas to avoid the substantial
costs and time. If Hongli Shandong had selected to directly list on a U.S. exchange without such contractual arrangements, Hongli Shandong
would be required to obtain certain regulatory approvals in connection with the conversion of our PRC operating entities into wholly foreign
owned entities which would take the Company approximately 3-6 months to complete without certainty when the conversion would be completed
successfully.. As a result, management elected to pursue the VIE structure, at which time that the PRC government did not initiate a series
of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China including enhancing supervision over the use of variable
interest entities for overseas listing.

We appreciate the assistance the Staff has provided
with its comments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our counsel, Arila Zhou, Esq., of Hunter Taubman Fischer

whether the VIE structure is used to replicate foreign investment in Chinese-based

companies, and disclose that investors may never directly hold equity interests in the

Chinese operating company.  Your disclosure should acknowledge that Chinese regulatory
authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a material change in
your operations and/or value of your ordinary shares, including that it could cause the
value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Provide a cross-
reference to your detailed discussion of risks facing the company and the offering as a
result of this structure.
2.Provide prominent disclosure about the legal and operational risks associated with being
based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China.  Your disclosure
should make clear whether these risks could result in a material change in your operations
and/or the value of your ordinary shares or could significantly limit or completely hinder
your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such
securities to significantly decline or be worthless.  Your disclosure should address how
recent statements and regulatory actions by China’s government, such as those related to
the use of variable interest entities and data security or anti-monopoly concerns, has or
may impact the company’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or
list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. Your prospectus summary should address, but
not necessarily be limited to, the risks highlighted on the prospectus cover page.
3.Clearly disclose how you will refer to the holding company, subsidiaries, and VIEs when
providing the disclosure throughout the document so that it is clear to investors which
entity the disclosure is referencing and which subsidiaries or entities are conducting the
business operations.  Refrain from using terms such as “we” or “our” when describing
activities or functions of a VIE. Disclose clearly the entity (including the domicile) in

example, specifically discuss risks arising from the legal system in China, including risks
and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in
China can change quickly with little advance notice; and the risk that the Chinese
government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, or may exert more
control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based
issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of
your ordinary shares.  Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the Chinese government
to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or
foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder
your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such
securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
6.Disclose each permission that you, your subsidiaries or your VIEs are required to obtain
from Chinese authorities to operate and issue these securities to foreign investors.  State
whether you, your subsidiaries, or VIEs are covered by permissions requirements from the

permissions have been denied.

to the holding company and which entity made such transfer, and their tax consequences.
Similarly quantify dividends or distributions made to U.S. investors, the source, and their
tax consequences.  Describe any restrictions on foreign exchange and your ability to
transfer cash between entities, across borders, and to U.S. investors.  Describe any
restrictions and limitations on your ability to distribute earnings from your businesses,
including subsidiaries and/or consolidated VIEs, to the parent company and U.S. investors
as well as the ability to settle amounts owed under the VIE agreements.
8.We note that the consolidated VIEs constitute a material part of your consolidated
financial statements.  Please provide in tabular form condensed consolidating schedule  -
depicting the financial position, cash flows and results of operations for the parent, the
consolidated variable interest entities, and any eliminating adjustments separately - as of
the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial

9.Disclose that trading in your securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign
Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully

securities.  If the PCAOB has been or is currently unable to inspect your auditor, revise
your disclosure to so state.

regulations, or if these regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future, your
shares may decline in value or become worthless if you are unable to assert your
contractual control rights over the assets of your PRC subsidiaries that conduct all or
substantially all of your operations.
11.Given the Chinese government’s significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of
your business, please revise to separately highlight the risk that the Chinese government
may intervene or influence your operations at any time, which could result in a material
change in your operations and/or the value of your ordinary shares.  Also, given recent
statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and
control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-
based issuers, acknowledge the risk that any such action could significantly limit or
completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and
cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
12.In light of recent events indicating greater oversight by the Cyberspace Administration of
China over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange,
please revise your disclosure to explain how this oversight impacts your business and your
offering and to what extent you believe that you are compliant with the regulations or
policies that have been issued by the CAC to date.
