customs for Basel from Munich

We are traveling to Basel from Houston with a stop in Munich. Are we subject to customs in Munich and Basel?

You are subject to Schengen Zone Immigration (passport control) in Munich. You are subject to customs (goods importation) in Basel, but that is normally just walking out the "Nothing to Declare" door into the Swiss sector. Since Switzerland is not an EU member, there is separate customs for Switzerland and France.

Thank you; I didn't know if we'd have to recheck luggage for the "puddle jump" flight from Munich to Basel.

if the Houston to Basel is all on one ticket, the answer would be 'no'. ( as long as it gets tagged to Basel when you check in at Houston)
