All passengers wether flying on Air Tahiti Nui or Air France that are in transit will have to go through immigration before getting inside the transit lounge, no one will go through customs,no one will have to pick up backs unless they haven't been checked through to PPT or CDG which only happens to nonrevs...
Sorry for the misinformation. I'm surprised--but happy--to learn that I was wrong about customs.
