What about for flights coming into US?

I was going to open a new thread but I think this is titled generic enough to ask this question:

What about for flights coming into MIA late at night with a morning connection? After clearing customs with the checked baggage, will they allow me to drop them off to my final destination or do I have to check in with bags in the following morning even if it's a connection?

To be more specific, I'll be flying in on LAN into MIA late at night and fly on AA to another uS destination the following early morning. I'm thinking the delta time between the two will be less than 10 hours. Do we have to take our checked bags after customs and bring them back in the morning or can we drop them off to be processed for the morning flight? Thanks in advance!
