The shipping container arrived in Port Botany in Sydney’s south last Monday from the US and was investigated after x-rays identified anomalies within it.
Further examination revealed two bags containing multiple packages of a substance that tested positive for cocaine.
Each package was wrapped in blue clingfilm and had a numbered label on it.
The drugs were subsequently seized, with the AFP now seeking further information on the criminal syndicate responsible for the importation.
Australian Border Force Superintendent Jared Leighton revealed there is a chance the shipment was tampered with.
