The illicit drugs were found in a number of sea cargo containers, which arrived into Port Botany in Sydney last month.
Australian Border Force (ABF) officers examined the shipment, acting on intelligence.

They have all been refused bail and will appear at court later today.
Former Commissioner of NSW Police Mike Fuller said the bust will have "significant impact on supply and demand".

"This is a really destructive drug. So well done to NSW Police."
