Travel Foods and Snacks for Paleo/AIP

I'm heading to China to do volunteer work!  This may be my last post for a couple of weeks while I'm gone.  I've mainly been following the Autoimmune Protocol over the last couple of months (I am learning more about the diet and doing the best I can at this point). This will be the first long trip I'll be taking since eating this way, so I am definitely a little worried about my options there.  I know I'll be able to find meat, fish, and vegetables, but it's more about the soy, oils, and the quality of food I'm concerned about.  The good news is that wheat is not a popular used grain in China, so I'll be safer on that front.  My body actually does okay with white rice, so that's a good thing.

For the plane I plan on bringing a large container of guacomole with plantain chips and cut up carrots/celery.  As well as a salad with some type of protein (it will be frozen and then slowly defrost on the plane). 

What should I pack? 
I literally am bringing a suitcase full of packaged (snack) food hoping that the border control will have no problems with this.  

Here's my list:

AIP approved: 
Trader Joes just fruit bars (coconut and apple)
Dried coconut chips 
Tea bags - herbal teas including roobis, ginger, and dandelion root
Organic dried fruit- apricots 
Sea salt
Kelp salt
Sardines
Sweet potato baby food in squeezable packet

Paleo:
Sprouted pumpkin seeds
Cashew cookie bars- Larabar

Wish me luck!
