Travel Tips
Hmm.. sounds interesting ^_^
what kind of chips? lol xP
Hmm.. no tax if its not to resell. so yeah.. i don't see any problems. You just can't bring like fresh fruits, fish, meat, and other foods like that.. and hmm.. no water either lol

Go to U.S. Customs at www.firstgov.gov
Are you going be using the items for personal consumption or are you going to resell the items?

If it's for personal consumption, then no tax.

Resale? Then yes, taxed.

Hope that helps.....
You can bring back up to $800 in purchases without paying any tax. There are higher and lower rates for some countries and circumstances. You can't bring back fresh meat or vegetables but I see not problem with what you have listed.
No tax on those items, you have listedas long as they are for personal consumption. You cannot import meats, fish, fruit, vegetables and plants.
