Bringing Keris to Indonesia from Overseas

Thank you both for the candid sharing of your personal experiences.

Indeed when I ran a quick online search from legal point of view pusaka is exempted from the list of items considered to be weapon (and so have no carrying/transport restriction) under UU 12/1951.

That said I'll still declare the keris in my custom declaration and see how it goes - hopefully it will be uneventful. Will update you post-event
