One man was arrested in a federal police operation in south-west Sydney last night over the importation of an $35 million ice shipment from Cambodia.

The man was charged with importing 105kg of ephedrine, a substance used to make crystal methylamphetamine.

He was arrested during a police operation at a residential address in Greenacre last night.

The 23-year-old man has appeared in Sydney Central Local Court today and faces a maximum penalty of two years in jail or a $44,000 fine.

An Australian Federal Police spokeswoman said the ephedrine was packed into 122 coffee sample bags in three containers.

"The drugs were discovered by customs officials when checking air cargo at Mascot earlier this week" she said.
