I have I had a couple of questions if you someone has the time to answer for ORD-PVG-NRT trip. Is the luggage checked all the way from ORD to NRT or do we have to collect the luggage at PVG clear customs and have to check in again next day for PVG NRT journey ? How much time did it take from arrival to getting of airport ?
If using TWOV, do you have to go through customs ?

I can't answer the baggage through-check, but if you do have to collect your bags the process is fairly painless and quick.
On disembarking you should walk quickly to the arrivals hall to make sure you are close to the front of the TWOV queue. Bags, if you have to collect them, will be out fairly quick. Customs is there, but unlikely to scan your bags - you just walk straight out.
As a rule of thumb I allow 1.5 hours from time of landing to be in the city. It can be quicker than that but sometimes immigration can slow you up or there could be a wait for a taxi or for the train.
