After that, French Post shipments in transit go to a distribution center, where they are sorted and directed to the international mail exchange point. The French Post items are then cleared through customs and delivered to the designated postal operator in the destination country. This is known as the "export" tracking stage. Once imported, they go through a similar process in the destination country. The final tracking status indicates that the package has been delivered.
