MD11 should be sure as he is correct.
However,flight plan normally include an alternate and minimum contigency fuel.
Landing with only reserves and if ramp check would certainly raise many eybrows and would lead to further investigation,eventhough legal.
Dont you have sops concerning international fuel uplift?ICAO fuel would be a good start..
I believe you only need reserve fuel at landing eventhough not recommended of course and planning should include 10perc trip time contingency fuel on top of your minimum reserve fuel of 30 mins.
I would always file an alternate,but if you have fuel uplift restriction,(too heavy to make it in one go,you may use the redispatch regulation).
