I think you are confusing things... I am a British citizen and I'm
fairly sure I need a passport to enter a Schengen zone country. Once
I'm in a Schengen zone country, I think I can travel to another one
with other ID, but I need a passport for the first Schengen country.
The Schengen zone has absolutely nothing to do with customs, as far as
I know. If you are travelling from an EU country to an EU country,
there is basically not customs (you walk through the blue channel).
