The verb is 'reclaim' therefore it is that word which takes '-ing'. The place is known as the 'baggage reclaim' area, but if you are carrying out the activity you are 'reclaiming your baggage'.

In the U.S. I have never seen or heard "baggage reclaim." It's just "baggage claim."

It sounds to me as though it's a UK / US thing - it's the same thing but with a different name!
