I’d be surprised. Most counterfeit stuff comes from eBay or Amazon, not a legitimate vendor like Merlin.

arrived in a poly bag...instruction sheet inside labelled Shimano
When I were a lad, KMC-made chains bagged up to ship to OEMs to go on Shimano
-branded bikes had Shimano logos and part numbers stamped on the links, but these days supply chain disruption probably means they'll take whatever they can get

I bought a KMC X11 chain from Merlin.
It arrived in a poly bag, rather than a plastic box, and had an instruction sheet inside labelled Shimano - no KMC logo.
Is it possible this is a counterfeit product?
Edit: this YACF thread suggests it's probably legit. https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=124994.0
