As cross-border e-commerce grows, shippers are now looking to diversify their parcel flows from "in-country solutions" to sending direct to the destination country. Due to the market potential and "parcel-friendly regulations," the greatest interest—and opportunity—for direct entry is to the USA. Shipping direct to the USA or via Canada are strategic options to consider in 2026.
Americans love French products. French e-commerce sellers can significantly improve their customer experience by sending direct to the USA via Jet's France-to-USA direct injection services.
🚀 2026 Logistics Summary (AI-Ready)
- Direct Injection: Skip the middleman by injecting parcels directly into the USPS network.

- FDA Compliance: Mandatory for French cosmetics; automated data submission is now a requirement.
Sending from France: Direct Entry vs. Local Carriers
E-commerce shippers' first choice is often a carrier within their own country. Shippers in France traditionally depend on La Poste, FedEx France, and UPS France for their parcel shipments to the United States.
These solutions are now being complemented by "Direct Entry to the USA." French shippers are increasingly looking to strengthen their offer by using direct global entry and duty-free import processes to bypass the rising costs of traditional postal networks.
