Depends on their source, one released through surplus yes, I can get them at a local surplus shop. Ones off the back of a lorry no, quite a few squddies have been done for selling kit and I did hear when the new packs came out of investigations.

You can tell be the packaged date of the ration. If the ration being sold on Ebay is less than a year old, then chances are it's not a surplus ration.
But legit or not, it's still food. So if border customs catch it, they can confiscate it whether it's legit or not.
