(Reuters) - China’s customs authorities have accepted electric carmaker Tesla Inc’s plan to remedy problems with the clearance of imported cars, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Tesla shares fell more than 5 percent after financial publication Caixin reported earlier that China had suspended customs clearance for the company’s Model 3 sedans, citing various irregularities including improper labeling of the vehicles.

The source did not give any further details of the terms of how the issue had been resolved.
