USPS uses FedEx for many of their international "express" packages.

I believe that applies primarily to Intl Express Guaranteed?

Looks like Cronopost handles US packages

Investigationz Reference:

From Chronopost News

Chronopost International in the USA inaugurates new facility

Chronopost International recently celebrated the opening of a new facility at JFK Airport. The new facility allows Chronopost to handle the growth in volumes through this gateway and includes a new conveyers and processing technologies.

From wikipedia

Chronopost International, a member of the La Poste group, provides express shipping and delivery service both domestically (in France) and internationally

It looks like going through customs is eliminated, due to the fact that Chronopost is a subsidiary of France Post for transiting and/or delivering Express packages.

It doesn't hurt that you live/drop off the package very close to the JFK airport facility
