Each (!) parcel gets x-rayed and when they see something "suspicious" , they let open it. There is no trick to bypass this. The biggest problem is, you can“t send a big amount of rations at once.

I ran into this same problem with a Canadian seller. Not sure why I can get Lithuanian MREs and others but the Canadian seller refuses to ship to the US???

He said it never works for him.

Good luck!
Usually they get confiscated by European customs so IF any makes it over here, it increases the price!
Are they illegal? Why?

I just wanted to try some different ones. I can't find a list of current menus....or anything after 2008 really. How do you get all these? You don't have to give all your secrets out in public, but I'm just really frustrated that even MRE's a few hundred miles away are impossible for me to get directly from a vendor.....

I have been a vendor at gun shows and Prepper shows for years. So I have made a lot of contacts.

As far as menu lists. There is one for 2015 IMPs on the buy/sell/trade thread. I think it's on the second page. And then around the second week of December there was a thread posted titled "hundreds of rations for sale". That one lists the 2013 and 2014 menus.
