Hi Jayaningkurnia,

I never bring Keris to Indonesia, therefore the following is just my assumption.

You might want to google UU DARURAT 12/1951 since you are fluent in Indonesian it should not be a problem.

Here I attached one of the clause that specifically (in my opinion) exempt keris to be classified as weapon.

If my interpretation of this clause is correct, it means there should not be any specific procedures to bring keris to Indonesia.
