Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
Filed September 28, 2023
File No. 333-263602
Dear Ms. Barberena-Meissner and Ms. Dorin:
Planet Image International
Limited (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) hereby transmits
its response to the letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”), dated October 12, 2023 regarding its Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Amendment
No. 5 to Registration Statement”) filed on September 28, 2023. For ease of reference, we have repeated the Commission’s
comment in this response letter. An Amendment No. 6 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (“Amendment No. 6 to the Registration
Statement”) is being filed to accompany this response letter.
Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on
Form F-1
General
1. Your revised disclosure in response to prior
comment 1 does not fully address the issues raised therein and we reissue the comment. We note the changes you made to your disclosure
appearing on the cover page, Prospectus Summary and Risk Factor sections relating to legal and operational risks associated with operating
in China and PRC regulations. It is unclear to us that there have been changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC since the amendment
that was filed on June 7, 2023, warranting revised disclosure to mitigate the challenges you face and related disclosures. The Sample
Letters to China-Based Companies sought specific disclosure relating to the risk that the PRC government may intervene in or influence
your operations at any time, or may exert control over operations of your business, which could result in a material change in your operations
and/or the value of the securities you are registering for sale. We remind you that, pursuant to federal securities rules, the term “control”
(including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,” and “under common control with”) as defined in
Securities Act Rule 405 means “the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management
and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.” The Sample Letters also
sought specific disclosures relating to uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that the rules and regulations in China can
change quickly with little advance notice. We do not believe that your revised disclosure conveys the same risk. Please restore your disclosures
in these areas to the disclosures as they existed in the registration statement as of June 7, 2023.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, we revised our disclosure throughout Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement to restore our disclosures in the above-mentioned
areas.
We thank the Staff for its review of the foregoing.
If you have further comments, we ask that you forward them by electronic mail to our counsel, Ying Li at yli@htflawyers.com or by telephone
at 212-530-2206.

Dear Ms. Barberena-Meissner and Ms. Dorin:
Planet Image International
Limited (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) hereby transmits
its response to the letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”), dated September 18, 2023 regarding its Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Amendment
No. 4 to Registration Statement”) filed on September 8, 2023. For ease of reference, we have repeated the Commission’s
comment in this response letter. An Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (“Amendment No. 5 to the Registration
Statement”) is being filed to accompany this response letter.
Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on
Form F-1
General
1. We note the changes you made to your disclosure
appearing on the cover page, Prospectus Summary and Risk Factor sections relating to legal and operational risks associated with operating
in China and PRC regulations. It is unclear to us that there have been changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC since the amendment
that was filed on June 7, 2023, warranting revised disclosure to mitigate the challenges you face and related disclosures. The Sample
Letters to China-Based Companies sought specific disclosure relating to the risk that the PRC government may intervene in or influence
your operations at any time, or may exert control over operations of your business, which could result in a material change in your operations
and/or the value of the securities you are registering for sale. We remind you that, pursuant to federal securities rules, the term “control”
(including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,” and “under common control with”) as defined in
Securities Act Rule 405 means “the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management
and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.” The Sample Letters also
sought specific disclosures relating to uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that the rules and regulations in China can
change quickly with little advance notice. We do not believe that your revised disclosure referencing the significant degree of influence
any changes in applicable PRC laws and regulations implemented by PRC regulatory authorities have over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries
must conduct their business activities conveys the same risk. Please restore your disclosures in these areas to the disclosures as they
existed in the registration statement as of June 7, 2023.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, we revised our disclosure throughout Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement to restore disclosure relating to (i) the
risk that the PRC government may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, or may exert control over operations of our business,
which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale, (ii) uncertainties
regarding the enforcement of laws, and (iii) that the rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice, as
they existed in the Registration Statement as of June 7, 2023.
We thank the Staff for its review of the foregoing.
If you have further comments, we ask that you forward them by electronic mail to our counsel, Ying Li at yli@htflawyers.com or by telephone

the domicile) in which investors are purchasing an interest.

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

not necessarily be limited to, the risks highlighted on the prospectus cover page.
Prospectus Summary , page 1
2.In your summary of risk factors, disclose the risks that being based in and having the
majority of the company’s operations in China poses to investors. In particular, describe
the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks with cross-references to the
more detailed discussion of these risks in the prospectus. For 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.
3.Disclose each permission that you or your subsidiaries are required to obtain from Chinese
authorities to operate and issue these securities to foreign investors. State whether you or
your subsidiaries are covered by permissions requirements from the CSRC, CAC or any

affirmatively whether you have received all requisite permissions and whether any
permissions have been denied.
4.We note your disclosure on page 22. Please 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 investigate your auditor, and that as a result an
exchange may determine to delist your securities.
5.Please revise your diagram illustrating your corporate structure on pages 4 and 46 to
disclose your equity interests in each of these entities, whether directly or indirectly
owned, and the equity interests of any other equity holders to the extent these entities are

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.

by the Cyberspace Administration of China over data security, particularly for companies
