14、e securities in any jurisdiction where the offer orsale is not permitted.PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS Subject to CompletionDated September 3,2024 1,600,000 Ordinary Shares EASTERN INTERNATIONAL LTD.This is the initial public offering of the ordinary shares of Eastern International Ltd.,par value$0.0001 pe
15、r share(“OrdinaryShares”).We are offering on a firm commitment basis 1,600,000 Ordinary Shares.We expect the initial public offering price of theshares to be in the range of$4 to$5 per Ordinary Share.Prior to the completion of this offering,there has been no public marketfor our Ordinary Shares.We w
16、ill apply to have our Ordinary Shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market(“NASDAQ”).We havereserved the trading symbol ELOG for listing on the NASDAQ.There is no guarantee or assurance that our Ordinary Shares willbe approved for listing on NASDAQ.However,we will not complete this offering unless we
17、 are so listed.Upon the completion of this offering,we will be a“controlled company”as defined under Nasdaq Stock Market Rules 5615(c)because Mr.Albert Wong,the Chairman of our board of directors and our Chief Executive Officer,will beneficially own 64.8%ofthe voting power of our total issued and ou
18、tstanding shares assuming the Underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option,or 64.1%of the voting power our total issued and outstanding shares if the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full.As a“controlled company,”we are permitted to elect not to comply with certain corpo
19、rate governance requirements.If we rely onthese exemptions,you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporategovernance requirements.We are an“emerging growth company,”as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
20、,and willbe subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.Investing in our Ordinary Shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk.See“Risk Factors”beginning on page 12 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered before making a dec
21、isionto purchase our Ordinary Shares.We are not a Chinese operating company but rather a Cayman Islands holding company without material operations and ourbusiness is conducted by our subsidiaries in China and this structure involves unique risks to investors.See“Risk Factors RisksRelated to Doing B
22、usiness in China Changes in Chinas economic,political or social conditions or government policies,couldhave a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations”and“Uncertainties and quick change in the interpretationand enforcement of Chinese laws and regulations with little advance
23、notice could result in a material and negative impact on ourbusiness operations,decrease the value of our Ordinary Shares and limit the legal protections available to you and us.”There are legal and operational risks associated with being based in and having all our operations in China.Recently,the
24、PRCgovernment initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advancenotice,including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,enhancing supervision over China-based companieslisted overseas using variable interest enti
25、ty structure,adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,andexpanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.On July 6,2021,the General Office of the Communist Party of China CentralCommittee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued an announcement to crack
26、 down on illegal activities in thesecurities market and promote the high-quality development of the capital market,which,among other things,requires the relevantgovernmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement and judicial cooperation,to enhance supervisionover China-
27、based companies listed overseas,and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial application of the PRCsecurities laws.On December 28,2021,Cybersecurity Review Measures was published by Cyberspace Administration of China orthe CAC,National Development and Reform Commission,Ministry of Ind

30、y shall be subject to the cybersecurity review by the CybersecurityReview Office.On November 14,2021,CAC published the Administration Measures for Cyber Data Security(Draft for PublicComments),or the“Cyber Data Security Measure(Draft)”,which requires cyberspace operators with personal information of
31、 morethan 1 million users who want to list abroad to file a cybersecurity review with the Office of Cybersecurity Review.On July 7,2022,CAC promulgated the Measures for the Security Assessment of Data Cross-border Transfer,effective on September 1,2022,which requires the data processors to apply for
32、 data cross-border security assessment coordinated by the CAC under the followingcircumstances:(i)any data processor transfers important data to overseas;(ii)any critical information infrastructure operator ordata processor who processes personal information of over 1 million people provides persona
33、l information to overseas;(iii)anydata processor who provides personal information to overseas and has already provided personal information of more than 100,000people or sensitive personal information of more than 10,000 people to overseas since January 1st of the previous year and;and(iv)other cir
34、cumstances under which the data cross-border transfer security assessment is required as prescribed by the CAC.OnFebruary 17,2023,the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by DomesticEnterprises(the“New Overseas Listing Rules”)with five interpret
35、ive guidelines,which took effect on March 31,2023.The NewOverseas Listing Rules require Chinese domestic enterprises to complete filings with relevant governmental authorities and reportrelated information under certain circumstances,such as:a)an issuer making an application for initial public offer
36、ing and listing inan overseas market;b)an issuer making an overseas securities offering after having been listed on an overseas market;c)adomestic company seeking an overseas direct or indirect listing of its assets through single or multiple acquisition(s),share swap,transfer of shares or other mea
37、ns.Pursuant to the New Overseas Listing Rules,domestic companies that seek initial public offeringor listing securities overseas,both directly and indirectly,shall file with the CSRC within three working days after the submissionof overseas offering/listing application.Furthermore,upon the occurrenc
38、e of any of the material events specified below after anissuer has completed its offering and listed its securities on an overseas stock exchange,the issuer shall submit a report thereof tothe CSRC within three working days after the occurrence and public disclosure of the event:(i)change of control
39、;(ii)investigations or sanctions imposed by overseas securities regulatory agencies or other competent authorities;(iii)change of listingstatus or transfer of listing segment;or(iv)voluntary or mandatory delisting.The New Overseas Listing Rules stipulate the legalconsequences to the companies for br
40、eaches,including failure to fulfil filing obligations or filing documents having false statementor misleading information or material omissions,which may result in a fine ranging from RMB 1 million to RMB 10 million,andin cases of severe violations,the relevant responsible persons may also be barred
41、 from entering the securities market.On February24,2023,the CSRC,the Ministry of Finance,the National Administration of State Secretes Protection and the National ArchivesAdministration released the Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Related to the OverseasSe
42、curities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies,or the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions,whichtook effect on March 31,2023.Chinese domestic enterprises seeking to offer securities and list on overseas markets,either directlyor indirectly,shall establish and improve the syste
43、m of confidentiality and archives work,and shall complete approval and filingprocedures with competent authorities,if such PRC domestic enterprises or their overseas listing entities provide or publiclydisclose documents or materials involving state secrets and work secrets of state organs to releva
44、nt securities companies,securitiesservice institutions,overseas regulatory agencies and other entities and individuals.It further stipulates that(i)providing orpublicly disclosing documents and materials which may adversely affect national security or public interests,and accountingrecords or photoc
45、opies thereof to relevant securities companies,securities service institutions,overseas regulatory agencies andother entities and individuals shall be subject to corresponding procedures in accordance with relevant laws and regulations;and(ii)any working papers formed in the territory of the PRC by
46、securities companies and securities service agencies that providedomestic enterprises with securities services relating to overseas securities issuance and listing shall be stored in the territory of thePRC,the outbound transfer of which shall be subject to corresponding procedures in accordance wit
47、h relevant laws andregulations.As of the date of this prospectus,these new laws and guidelines have not impacted the Companys ability to conduct itsbusiness,accept foreign investments,or list and trade on a U.S.or other foreign exchange except for the filing requirement withCSRC under New Overseas L
48、isting Rules.We provide domestic and cross-border professional logistic services including projectlogistic and general logistic.We are not cyberspace operators with personal information of more than 1 million users or activitiesthat affect or may affect national security and we dont have documents a
49、nd materials which may adversely affect national securityor public interests.However,there are uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of these new laws and guidelines,whichcould materially and adversely impact our business and financial outlook,may impact our ability to accept foreign i
50、nvestments,offer our securities to investors or to list on a U.S.or other foreign exchange,and could impact our ability to conduct our business.Any change in foreign investment regulations,and other policies in China or related enforcement actions by China governmentcould result in a material change
51、 in our operations and the value of our securities and could significantly limit or completely hinderour ability to offer our securities to investors or cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.TheHolding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or the HFCA Act,was enacted
52、 on December 18,2020.In accordance with theHFCA Act,trading in securities of any registrant on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in theUnited States may be prohibited if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate the registrants auditor fo
53、r threeconsecutive years beginning in 2021,and,as a result,an exchange may determine to delist the securities of such registrant.OnDecember 29,2022,a legislation entitled“Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023”(the“Consolidated Appropriations Act”)wassigned into law by President Biden,which has shorte
54、ned the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Acts timeline for a potentialtrading prohibition from three years to two years,thus reducing the time period before our securities may be prohibited fromtrading or delisted if our auditor is unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement.The Companys au
55、ditor is headquartered inthe U.S.and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States)(the“PCAOB”)currently has access to inspect theworking papers of our auditor and our auditor is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16,2021,which determinations were vaca
56、ted on December 15,2022.The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and relatedregulations currently does not affect the Company as the Companys auditor is subject to PCAOBs inspection and investigation.See“Risk Factors The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or the HFCA Act,and the related
57、regulations are evolvingquickly.Further implementations and interpretations of or amendments to the HFCA Act or the related regulations,or a PCOABsdetermination of its lack of sufficient access to inspect our auditor,might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on usbecause of our operatio
58、ns in Hong Kong and mainland China.A potential consequence is that our ordinary shares may be delistedby the exchange.The delisting of our ordinary shares,or the threat of our ordinary shares being delisted,may materially andadversely affect the value of your investment.Additionally,the inability of
59、 the PCAOB to conduct full inspections of our auditordeprives our investors of the benefits of such inspections.”We are a holding company incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands.As a holdingcompany with no material operations of our own,we conduct a substanti
60、al majority of our business through our operatingsubsidiaries in China.Our Ordinary Shares offered in this prospectus are shares of our Cayman Islands holding company,not theshares of our operating subsidiaries.As a holding company,we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by o
61、ur PRC subsidiaries for our cash andfinancing requirements.If any of our PRC subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future,the instruments governing suchdebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.However,our subsidiaries have not made any dividends or other distributionsto our
62、 holding company or any U.S.investors as of the date of this prospectus.In the future,cash proceeds raised from overseasfinancing activities,including this offering,may be transferred by us to our PRC subsidiaries via capital contribution or shareholderloans,as the case may be.See“Selected Consolida
63、ted Financial Statements”on page F-2 of this prospectus.Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations,payments of current account items,such as profit distributions and trade andservice-related foreign exchange transactions,can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the StateAdm
64、inistration of Foreign Exchange in China(“SAFE”)by complying with certain procedural requirements.Therefore,our PRCsubsidiaries are able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to us without prior approval from SAFE,subject to the condition thatthe remittance of such dividends outside of the PRC comp
65、lies with certain procedures under PRC foreign exchange regulations,such as the overseas investment registrations by our shareholders or the ultimate shareholders of the Company who are PRCresidents.Approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is,however,required where the R
66、MB is to beconverted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated inforeign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for currentaccount transactions.For our Hong
67、Kong and BVI subsidiaries and the holding company(“Non-PRC Entities”),there is norestrictions on foreign exchange for such entities and they are able to transfer cash among these entities,across borders and to USinvestors.Also,there is no regulatory restrictions and limitations on the abilities of N
68、on-PRC Entities to distribute earnings fromtheir businesses,including from subsidiaries to the parent company or from the holding company to the U.S.investors.However,tothe extent cash/assets in the business is in PRC/Hong Kong or our PRC/Hong Kong entity,the funds/assets may not be available tofund
69、 operations or for other use outside of the PRC/Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions andlimitations on the ability of us or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash/assets.Current PRC regulations permitour PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company
70、 only out of their accumulated profits,if any,determined in accordance withChinese accounting standards and regulations.In addition,our subsidiaries in China are required to set aside at least 10%of itsafter-tax profits each year,if any,to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50%of th
71、eir respective registered capital.Although the statutory reserves can be used,among other ways,to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses inexcess of retained earnings of the respective companies,the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in theevent of liqu
72、idation.See“Dividend Distribution and Cash Transfer Between the Holding Company and Subsidiaries”and“RiskFactorsRisks Related to Doing Business in China Governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to transfercash between us and our subsidiaries or investors including our abilit
73、y to utilize our net revenues effectively and affect the value ofyour investment.”As of the date of this prospectus,we do not have cash management policies and procedures in place that dictate how funds aretransferred through our organization.Rather,the funds can be transferred in accordance with th
74、e applicable PRC laws andregulations.Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations,payments of current account items,such as profit distributions andtrade and service-related foreign exchange transactions,can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE bycomplying with certain p
75、rocedural requirements.Therefore,WFOE is able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to us withoutprior approval from SAFE,subject to the condition that the remittance of such dividends outside of the PRC complies with certainprocedures under PRC foreign exchange regulations,such as the overseas inv
76、estment registrations by our shareholders who arePRC residents.Approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is,however,required where the RMB is tobe converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominatedi
77、n foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for currentaccount transactions.Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to the Company only out of itsaccumulated profits,if any,determined in accordance
78、with Chinese accounting standards and regulations.In addition,oursubsidiary in China is required to set aside at least 10%of its after-tax profits each year,if any,to fund a statutory reserve until suchreserve reaches 50%of its registered capital.Although the statutory reserves can be used,among oth
79、er ways,to increase theregistered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies,the reserve funds are notdistributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation.Under the existing laws of Hong Kong,funds from capitalaccounts can be repatria
80、ted and remitted overseas without restrictions,and there is no foreign exchange control imposed.Accordingto the current tax practice of the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department,dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares would not besubject to any Hong Kong tax.See“Dividend Distribution and Cash Transfer B

147、ired to approve of our business operations inChina,and(3)have not received or were denied such permissions by any PRC authorities.Nevertheless,the General Office of theCentral Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the“Opinions onSeverely
148、 Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,”or the Opinions,which were made available to thepublic on July 6,2021.The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities,and theneed to strengthen the supervision over overseas listing
149、s by Chinese companies.On February 17,2023,the CSRC released theNew Overseas Listing Rules with five interpretive guidelines,which took effect on March 31,2023.The New Overseas ListingRules require Chinese domestic enterprises to complete filings with relevant governmental authorities and report rel
150、atedinformation under certain circumstances,such as:a)an issuer making an application for initial public offering and listing in anoverseas market;b)an issuer making an overseas securities offering after having been listed on an overseas market;c)a domesticcompany seeking an overseas direct or indir

155、llion to RMB 10 million,and in cases ofsevere violations,the relevant responsible persons may also be barred from entering the securities market.We are subject to therelevant filing procedures of the CSRC in connection with our overseas offerings under the New Overseas Listing Rules,includingthe pub
156、lic offering pursuant to this registration statement.On February 24,2023,the CSRC,the Ministry of Finance,the NationalAdministration of State Secretes Protection and the National Archives Administration released the Provisions on Strengthening theConfidentiality and Archives Administration Related t
157、o the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies,orthe Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions,which took effect on March 31,2023.PRC domestic enterprisesseeking to offer securities and list in overseas markets,either directly or indirectly,shall establish and impr
158、ove the system ofconfidentiality and archives work,and shall complete approval and filing procedures with competent authorities,if such PRCdomestic enterprises or their overseas listing entities provide or publicly disclose documents or materials involving state secrets andwork secrets of state orga
159、ns to relevant securities companies,securities service institutions,overseas regulatory agencies and otherentities and individuals.It further stipulates that(i)providing or publicly disclosing documents and materials which may adverselyaffect national security or public interests,and accounting reco
160、rds or photocopies thereof to relevant securities companies,securities service institutions,overseas regulatory agencies and other entities and individuals shall be subject to correspondingprocedures in accordance with relevant laws and regulations;and(ii)any working papers formed in the territory o
161、f the PRC bysecurities companies and securities service agencies that provide domestic enterprises with securities services relating to overseassecurities issuance and listing shall be stored in the territory of the PRC,the outbound transfer of which shall be subject tocorresponding procedures in ac
162、cordance with relevant laws and regulations.Our operating subsidiaries provide logistic services,and they are not cyberspace operators with personal information of more than 1 million users or activities that affect or may affectnational security and they dont have documents and materials which may
163、adversely affect national security or public interests.However,given the current PRC regulatory environment,it is uncertain whether we or our PRC subsidiaries will be able to obtainsuch permission or be required to obtain other permission from the PRC government to list on U.S.exchanges or offer its
164、 securitiesoverseas,and even when such permission is obtained,whether it will be denied or rescinded.If we or our subsidiaries do notreceive or maintain such permissions or approvals,inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required,orapplicable laws,regulations,or interpret
165、ations change and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future,itcould significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors,cause the value ofour securities to significantly decline or become worthless and could resul
166、t in a material and negative impact on our businessoperations,including fines or penalties imposed by the relevant PRC regulatory authority,revocation our subsidiaries businesslicenses and suspension of their respective business operations.Our independent registered public accounting firm that issue
167、s the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus,as an auditorof companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB,is subject to laws in the UnitedStates pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the appl
168、icable professionalstandards.Our auditor is headquartered in the U.S.,and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis with the lastinspection in 2021 and is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16,2021,which determinationswere vacated on December 15,2022.The Ho
169、lding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and related regulations currently does notaffect the Company as the Companys auditor is subject to PCAOBs inspection and investigation.However,should PRCauthorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOBs access in the future,the PCAOB Board will c
170、onsider the need toissue a new determination,and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and morestringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditors audit procedures and quality control procedures,adequacyof personnel and training
171、,or sufficiency of resources,geographic reach,or experience as it relates to our audit.If it is laterdetermined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority ina foreign jurisdiction or any other reasons,the lack of inspection c
172、ould cause the trading in our securities to be prohibited under theHolding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,and as a result Nasdaq may delist our securities.If our securities are unable to belisted on another securities exchange,such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or pu
173、rchase our securitieswhen you wish to do so,and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on theprice of our Ordinary Shares.Further,new laws and regulations or changes in laws and regulations in both the United States andChina could affect our abili
174、ty to list our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq,which could materially impair the market for and market pricefor our securities.2 Dividend Distribution and Cash Transfer Between the Holding Company and Subsidiaries Our PRC operating entity receives substantially all of our revenue in RMB.Under our current
175、corporate structure,to fund any cashand financing requirements.We may rely on dividend payments from Eastern HK and WFOE.WFOE receives dividend paymentsfrom our operating subsidiaries.WFOE may make distribution of such payments to Eastern HK as dividends.Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulatio
176、ns,payments of current account items,such as profit distributions and trade andservice-related foreign exchange transactions,can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complyingwith certain procedural requirements.Therefore,WFOE is able to pay dividends in foreign currenci
177、es to us without prior approvalfrom SAFE,subject to the condition that the remittance of such dividends outside of the PRC complies with certain proceduresunder PRC foreign exchange regulations,such as the overseas investment registrations by our shareholders who are PRC residents.Approval from or r
178、egistration with appropriate government authorities is,however,required where the RMB is to be converted intoforeign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreigncurrencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict acces
179、s in the future to foreign currencies for current accounttransactions.Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to the Company only out of its accumulated profits,if any,determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations.In addition,our subsidiary in
180、China is required to setaside at least 10%of its after-tax profits each year,if any,to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50%of itsregistered capital.Although the statutory reserves can be used,among other ways,to increase the registered capital and eliminatefuture losses in excess
181、of retained earnings of the respective companies,the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividendsexcept in the event of liquidation.Under the existing laws of Hong Kong,funds from capital accounts can be repatriated andremitted overseas without restrictions,and there is no foreign exchange
182、control imposed.According to the current tax practice ofthe Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department,dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares would not be subject to any Hong Kong tax.As of the date of this prospectus,WFOE has not made any dividends or distributions to Eastern HK,and Eastern HK has not made
183、any dividends or distribution to the holding company,and no dividends or distributions have been made by the Company to itsshareholders.We intend to keep any future earnings to re-invest in and finance the expansion of our business,and we do notanticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the
184、foreseeable future.Under the Cayman Islands law,a Cayman Islands companymay pay a dividend on its shares out of either profit or share premium amount,provided that in no circumstances may a dividendbe paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts due in the ordinary course o
185、f business.Cash dividends,if any,on our Ordinary Shares will be paid in U.S.dollars.If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise fortax purposes,any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may besubject to PRC withholding tax at a r
186、ate of up to 10.0%.Pursuant to the Arrangement between the Mainland of China and the HongKong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Tax Evasion With Respectto Taxes On Income,or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement,the 10%withholding tax rate
187、 may be lowered to 5%,if therecipient of the relevant dividends qualifies certain necessary requirements,including without limitation that(a)the Hong Kongproject must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends;and(b)the Hong Kong project must directly hold no less than 25%share ownership in t
188、he PRC project during the 12 consecutive months preceding its receipt of the dividends.The 5%withholdingtax rate,however,does not automatically apply and in current practice,a Hong Kong project must obtain a tax resident certificatefrom the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5%lower PRC withho
189、lding tax rate.As the Hong Kong tax authority will issuesuch a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis,we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the tax residentcertificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5%under the Dou
190、bleTaxation Arrangement with respect to any dividends paid by WFOE to its immediate holding company,Eastern HK.As of the dateof this prospectus,we have not applied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority.Eastern HKintends to apply for the tax resident certificate i
191、f and when WFOE plans to declare and pay dividends to Eastern HK.3 Our Competitive Strengths We believe the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors and are key drivers of our success:(1)Technical and qualification advantages We are committed to become one of the leading comprehensi
192、ve project logistics service providers in China and Southeast Asiacountries.As a logistics supplier for construction and engineering projects in China,we have obtained relevant technicalqualifications and government permits necessary for providing such services legally,such as large-cargo transporta
193、tion permit andnon-vessel operating carrier qualification approved and granted by the transportation authorities.We have also obtained a Class Acontractor qualification for large cargo transportation issued by China Water Resources and Electric Power Material CirculationAssociation.To obtain these q
194、ualifications,the applicants are typically subject to stringent assessment and verification by relevantauthorities which is a major barrier for other business trying to enter into this area.(2)Geographic Advantage The Company is located in Eastern China,an economically developed region in mainland C
195、hina.The businesses in this region haveexpanded across Chinese and overseas markets.The Companys operating headquarters are located in Suzhou city,and it has wholly-owned subsidiaries in Wuxi,Yancheng,Chongqing,and Kunming.Yancheng is a base for Chinas offshore wind power turbine industry,a pioneer
196、for Chinas offshorewind power turbine development.The company has established long-term strategic cooperation with Sheyang Port in Yancheng,and Yangjiang Port in Guangdong,and seized the opportunity to tap into regional resources and gained unique prime locationadvantages to access to the massive of
197、fshore wind power turbine industry in China.(3)Brand Advantages After nearly 20 years of development,the Companys reputation in the Chinese project logistics industry has been well recognizedby the industry.The Company has established long-term strategic cooperation with leading domestic enterprises

200、ians have over 15 years of experience in the industry.The project logistics industry requires comprehensive talents withdiverse skills,knowledge and backgrounds in operations,management,e-commerce,marketing,third-party logistics management,and other related fields.Chinas project logistics industry w
201、ill face a relative shortage of high-end talents for a long period of time.After years of development,the Company has established a professional and stable logistics business team,with certain talent andteam advantages.At present,the core management personnel of the Company are stable and most of th
202、em having more than 15years of experience in the logistics industry.Our team has a deep understanding of the project logistics industry and can accuratelygrasp the industrys development trends.Based on the Companys well-developed operating system and information system,thebusiness team can quickly r
203、espond to various market demands and provide customers with timely and efficient engineeringlogistics services.However,our management team lacks public company experience,which could impair our ability to comply with legal andregulatory requirements such as those imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
204、 2002.Our senior management does not haveexperience managing a publicly-traded company and such responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws andmaking required disclosures on a timely basis.See Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-The relative lack of publiccompany experienc
205、e of our management team may put us at a competitive disadvantage.4 Our Growth Strategy We are committed to become one of the leading comprehensive project logistics service providers in China and Southeast Asiacountries,with following strategies to further our growth.Expand Market Share in China We

223、structure,the Companys ability to pay dividends may depend upon dividends paid by our subsidiaries.If our existing subsidiaries or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own behalf in the future,the instruments governing theirdebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.We have adopted
224、a dual-class share structure such that our shares consist of Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares.In respect ofmatters requiring the votes of shareholders,each Ordinary Share is entitled to one(1)vote and each Preferred Share is entitled toten(10)votes.The Preferred Shares may be converted into Ordi

230、 to United States domestic public companies.Forexample:we are not required to provide as many Exchange Act reports,or as frequently,as a domestic public company;for interim reporting,we are permitted to comply solely with our home country requirements,which are less rigorous thanthe rules that apply
231、 to domestic public companies;we are not required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues,such as executive compensation;we are exempt from provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures ofmaterial information;we are not required to comply
232、 with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies,consents orauthorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;and our insiders are not required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring such individuals and entities to filepublic rep

284、risis such as the global pandemic associated with COVID-19.Any outbreak ofpandemic will have significant impact to overall economy and demands for our services.The COVID-19 pandemic has createdunique global and industry-wide challenges,including challenges to many aspects of our business.In the firs
285、t half of 2020,theCOVID-19 pandemic resulted in quarantines,travel restrictions,the temporary closure of business venues and facilities in China.The Company primarily conducts its business operations in the PRC.In response to the evolving dynamics related to the COVID-19 outbreak,the Company has fol
286、lowed the guidelines of local government authorities as it prioritizes the health and safety of itsemployees,suppliers,customers and business partners.Starting in July 2020,our business has recovered as individuals and entitiesresumed their business activities which were delayed or postponed due to
287、the COVID-19 outbreak.However,travel restrictions,quarantine requirements and/or temporary closure of office buildings and facilities have been imposed by local governments due tothe outbreak of Omicron variant in Suzhou and many other cities in China,including Shenzhen,Wuxi,Shanghai,Nanchang andCho
288、ngqing in 2022.In early December 2022,Chinese government eased the strict control measure for COVID-19,which has led tosurge in increased infections and disruption in our business operations in December 2022 and January 2023.Any future impact ofCOVID-19 on our operation results will depend on,to a l
289、arge extent,future developments and new information that may emergeregarding the duration and resurgence of COVID-19 variants and the actions taken by government authorities to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact,almost all of which are beyond our control.Due to the significant uncertainties surrou
290、nding any furtheroutbreak or resurgence of COVID-19 and actions that might be taken by governmental authorities,the extent of the future businessdisruption and the related financial impacts on our business cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.In general,our business could be adversely affecte
291、d by the epidemics,including,but not limited to,COVID-19,avian influenza,severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS),the influenza A virus,the Ebola virus,or other outbreaks.In response to an epidemic orother outbreaks,governments and other organizations may adopt regulations and policies that could lea
292、d to severe disruption to ourdaily operations,including temporary closure of our offices and other facilities.These severe conditions may cause us and/or ourpartners to make internal adjustments,including but not limited to,temporarily closing down business,limiting business hours,andsetting restric
293、tions on travel and/or visits with clients and partners for a prolonged period of time.Various impacts arising fromsevere conditions may cause business disruption,resulting in material,adverse effects to our financial condition and results ofoperations.Uncertain economic or social conditions may adv
294、ersely impact demand for our products or cause our customers and otherbusiness partners to suffer financial hardship,which could adversely impact our business.Our business could be negatively impacted by reduced demand for our products related to one or more significant local,regional orglobal econo
295、mic or social disruptions.These disruptions have included and may in the future include:a slow-down,recession orinflationary pressures in the general economy;reduced market growth rates;tighter credit markets for our suppliers,vendors orcustomers;a significant shift in government policies;significan
296、t social unrest;the deterioration of economic relations betweencountries or regions,including potential negative consumer sentiment toward non-local products or sources;or the inability toconduct day-to-day transactions through our financial intermediaries to pay funds to or collect funds from our c
297、ustomers,vendorsand suppliers.Additionally,these and other economic conditions may cause our suppliers,distributors,contractors or other third-party partners to suffer financial or operational difficulties that they cannot overcome,resulting in their inability to provide us withthe materials and ser
298、vices we need,in which case our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.Customers may also suffer financial hardships due to economic conditions such that their accounts become uncollectible or aresubject to longer collection cycles.In addition,if we are unable to generate suf
299、ficient sales,income and cash flow,it could affectthe Companys ability to achieve expected share repurchase and dividend payments.12 We have a substantial customer concentration,with a limited number of customers accounting for a large portion of ourrevenues.We derive a large portion of our revenues
300、 from a few major customers.For the year ended March 31,2024,two customersaccounted for approximately 35%and 23%of the Companys total revenues,respectively.For the year ended on March 31,2023,two major customers accounted for approximately 23%and 15%of the Companys total revenue,respectively.There a
301、re inherentrisks whenever a large percentage of the total revenue is concentrated with one customer.It is not possible for us to predict thefuture level of demand for our services that will be generated by such customer or the future demand for our services by suchcustomer.If such customer experienc
302、e declining or delayed demands due to market,economic or competitive conditions,we couldbe pressured to reduce our prices or they could decrease the purchase quantity of our services,which could have an adverse effecton our margins and financial position,and could negatively affect our revenues and
303、results of operations.If our largest customerterminates the purchase of our services,such termination would materially negatively affect our revenues,results of operations andfinancial condition.We rely on a limited number of vendors,and the loss of our significant vendor could harm our business,and
304、 the loss of any oneof such vendors could have a material adverse effect on our business.We purchase a significant portion of our supplies from a few major suppliers.For the year ended March 31,2024,one supplieraccounted for approximately 32%of the total purchases.For the year ended March 31,2023,on
305、e major supplier accounted forapproximately 32%of our total purchases.If any of these suppliers increase the price for raw materials,we could be pressured toincrease our prices or reduce our profit margin,which could cause us to lose customers and negatively affect our revenues andprofit margin.A si
306、gnificant change in customer relationships or in customer demand for our services could have a significant impact on ourbusiness.We provide most of our services via large construction company customers and small retailers,which include mass merchandisers,e-commerce(including social commerce)channels
307、.Our success depends on our ability to successfully manage relationships withour customers,which includes our ability to offer terms that are mutually acceptable and are aligned with our pricing andprofitability targets.Continued concentration among our customers could create significant cost and ma
308、rgin pressure on ourbusiness,and our business performance could suffer if we cannot reach agreement with a key customer on terms and principles.Our business could also be negatively impacted if a key customer were to significantly reduce the spending in projects and ourservices due to slow down of g
309、eneral economy in China and decrease in infrastructure investment.We face intense competition which could adversely affect our results of operations and market share.The industries we operate in are highly competitive and fragmented and we may compete with a broad range of companies,such asintegrate
310、d supply chain solution and service providers,and express and freight delivery service providers.Specifically,there aremultiple existing market players that offer integrated supply chain solutions and logistics services,and there may be new entrantsemerging in each of the markets we operate in,which
311、 compete to attract,engage and retain consumers and merchants.Thesecompanies may have greater financial,technological,research and development,marketing,distribution,and other resources thanwe do.They may also have longer operating histories,a larger customer base or broader and deeper market covera
312、ge.As a result,our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively to new or evolving opportunities,technologies,standards oruser requirements than we do and may have the ability to initiate or withstand significant regulatory changes and industryevolvement.Furthermore,when we expand
313、 into other markets,we will face competition from new competitors,domestic orforeign,who may also enter markets where we currently operate or plan to operate.13 Any significant increase in competition may have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability as well as on ouroperations and
314、 business prospect.We cannot assure you that we will be able to continuously distinguish our services from those ofour competitors,preserve and improve our relationships with various participants in the logistics industry,or increase or evenmaintain our existing market share.We may experience the lo
315、ss of market share,and our financial condition and results ofoperations may deteriorate if we fail to compete effectively.In addition,many operators in the logistics industry have consolidated in recent years to create larger enterprises with greaterbargaining power,which created greater competitive
316、 pressures on us.If this consolidation trend continues,this industry will bemore competitive.New partnerships and strategic alliances in the logistics industry also can alter market dynamics and adverselyimpact our businesses and competitive positioning.If we cannot equip ourselves with necessary re
317、sources and skills,we may loseour market share as competition increases.In addition,our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative orstrategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and offerings.If we areunable to antici
318、pate or react to these competitive challenges,our competitive position could be undermined,and we couldexperience a decline in growth which may adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Further,certain large retailers or e-commerce platforms may establish or further
319、 develop their own logistics networks leveraging on theirestablished warehousing and delivery capacities in selected areas in order to gain control of the consumer touchpoint and to createsynergies with their businesses.They may also compete with us for qualified delivery personnel and warehouse sta
320、ff withcompetitive remuneration.Any of the above could adversely affect our results of operations and market share.We face risks associated with the items we deliver and the contents of shipments handled through our logistics networks,including real or perceived quality issues with the services,and
321、risks inherent in the logistics industry,including personalinjury,product damage,and transportation-related incidents.We handle a large volume of parcels,equipment and freights across our logistics network,and face challenges with respect to theprotection and examination of these items.Parcels,equip
322、ment and freights delivered by us may be delayed,stolen,damaged or lostduring delivery for various reasons,and we may be perceived or found liable for such incidents.In addition,we may fail to screenparcels and detect unsafe,prohibited or restricted items.Unsafe items,such as flammables and explosiv
323、es,toxic or corrosive itemsand radioactive materials,may damage other parcels in our network,harm the personnel and facilities of us,or even injure therecipients.Furthermore,if we fail to prevent prohibited or restricted items from entering into our network and if we participate inthe transportation
324、 and delivery of such items unknowingly,we may be subject to administrative or even criminal penalties,and ifany personal injury or property damage is concurrently caused,we may also be liable for civil compensation.The delivery of parcels,equipment and freights also involves inherent risks.We const
325、antly use a large number of vehicles andpersonnel in transportation,and are therefore subject to risks associated with transportation safety.The insurance maintained by usmay not fully cover the liabilities caused by transportation related injuries or losses.From time to time,the vehicles and person
326、nelof our third-party business partners may be involved in transportation and vehicle accidents,and the parcels carried by them maybe lost or damaged.In addition,frictions or disputes may occasionally arise from the direct interactions between the pickup anddelivery personnel with senders and recipi
327、ents.Personal injuries or property damages may arise if such incidents escalate.Any of the foregoing could disrupt our services,cause us to incur substantial expenses and divert the time and attention of ourmanagement.We may face claims and incur significant liabilities if found liable or partially
328、liable for any of injuries,damages orlosses.Claims against us may exceed the amount of our insurance coverage,or may not be covered by insurance at all.Anyuninsured or underinsured loss could negatively influence our business and financial condition.Governmental authorities may alsoimpose significan
329、t fines on us or require us to adopt costly preventive measures.Furthermore,if our services are perceived to beinsecure or unsafe by our customers,our business volume may be significantly reduced,and our business,financial condition andresults of operations may be materially and adversely affected.1
330、4 We may be exposed to credit risks in relation to defaults from customers.Our exposure to credit risk may be influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer as well as the industry orcountry in which the customers operate,and may be concentrated on few number of customers.Altho
331、ugh we will monitor ourexposure to credit risk on an ongoing basis and make periodic judgment on impairment of overdue receivables based on thelikelihood of collectability,we cannot assure you that all of our customers are creditworthy and reputable and will not default onpayments in the future.If w
332、e encounter significant delays or defaults in payment by our customers or are otherwise unable torecover our accounts receivables,our cash flow,liquidity and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.Failure to successfully implement our business strategy,effectively respond to ch
333、anges in market dynamics and satisfactorilymeet customer demand will cause our future financial results to suffer.We are making significant investments and other decisions in connection with our long-term business strategy including our abilityto expand the breadth and depth of our solutions and services and further invest in technologies.Such initiatives and enhancementsmay require us to make sig
