If the OP is checking his bags from the UK to the US then the airport code on the tag will be that of his final destination and his tag will not have a green border because he will not be retrieving his baggage anywhere in the EU.
He would only be given tags with a green border if he asked for his bags to be tagged to Paris only (for example, if he wants to retrieve them during a stopover).
