When do I have to go through customs between Minneapolis and Nuremberg?
Upvote:6
Assuming that you've bought this flight as a single ticket, your baggage will almost certainly be checked through (ask at the checkin desk to be absolutely sure), which means you won't get it until Nuremberg (Nürnberg), so that's where you'll go through customs (anything else would not make sense for the customs agents).
Nuremberg airport has only a single exit from the baggage claim, presumably with different lanes, green for "nothing to declare" and red for customs inspection. If you're unsure, just use the red lane and ask (The website of the german customs agency specifically mentions musical instruments solely intended for private use, but is worded a bit confusingly).

Your journey consists of three legs, as far as I can tell:
- Minneapolis–New York
- New York–Düsseldorf
- Düsseldorf–Nuremburg
On your outbound flight, the first leg is domestic; no need for customs or immigration of any kind.
The second leg is the one that takes you from the US to the Schengen area — for your intents I might as well use Germany rather than Schengen area since you are not going to cross another international border. However, it would be the same if your second stopover were in Paris rather than Düsseldorf. Here, you will go through immigration check, where your passport will be checked and it will be determined whether you are allowed to enter the Schengen area. Once inside, you are free to move within it, hence why a stopover in Paris would be identical to one in Düsseldorf. You are not required to go through customs here, and you will not have access to your luggage (bar special circumstances like an overnight layover).
The final leg is again domestic (which should read intra-Schengen here). Thus, there are no immigration controls. However, you luggage has not gone through customs yet so it will do so now. Your customs declaration is made by either going through the green, ‘nothing to declare’ lane, or by choosing the red ‘goods to declare’ lane.
On your way back, things will be slightly different. The first flight will again be a domestic flight as before; you won’t get to see your luggage.
The second leg exits the Schengen area so you will be ID checked going out. Upon arrival in New York, you naturally again go through passport (immigration) control. However, US laws also require you to collect your luggage and pass through customs at your first point of entry. So you will collect your luggage, potentially present it to somebody and then drop it off again.
Your final leg is fully domestic; no customs, immigration or anything to take care of.
