BANGKOK -- Mitsubishi Motors expects to resume shipments to Vietnam as early as June, complying with stricter inspection requirements on imported cars that went into effect at the beginning of the year.

Vietnam in January put in place a rule requiring quality certifications from the country where vehicles are built, as well as inspections of each shipment lot. This forced Japanese automakers to suspend exports to the Southeast Asian nation. Only Honda Motor has restarted shipments so far.
