There can be customs checks at or near Schengen borders.
- crote 4y agoYes, just like two thirds of Americans can encounter a customs check on their daily commute because they live within 100 miles of a border. Schengen borders can have customs checks, but only temporarily in nature as a last resort in case of a serious threat to public policy or security, and in such a way as to impose the absolute minimum of restrictions possible. In practice Schengen borders are comparable to state borders in the US. Sure, they technically are borders, but in practice it is just a line drawn on a map. It is not uncommon for European armies to accidentally "invade" another country because they took a wrong turn during an exercise.
