Recently did AC/NH YYZ-HND-TAK . The zoo that was at HND meant my 115 min. connection was becoming almost impossible.
By the time I got to luggage claim (was in PE, took 95 minutes) the belt was full of bags.
I decided to do a quick walk around and saw my bag and a couple others already on the side, with 2 NH ground staff beside them. I identified my bag and the staff immediately radioed someone (to make sure to wait for me.. I hope ). She escorted me through customs and told me how to take my bag to the domestic terminal (this is HND) because it was too late to use the bag drop counter.
So it helps if they know you are connecting.
