No personal experience from Jakarta... but I did meet a German biker, who´d first freighted his bike from Japan to Taiwan, and did not get the bike in there, so he freighted it onwards to Jakarta by air. Only to have it stuck in the customs there, too!! He was actually in Bali, when we met, and the situation had stayed the same for several weeks. He even had the carnet, but said they still demand from him ´a recommendation letter from the United Nations´! I don´t know, if he finally got the bike in or not.
So yeah, I´m afraid it could be a handful. But this was 4 years ago, so things might have changed. Hoping it´ll work out easier for you!
