The Australian Federal Police identified a 26-year-old man from Nowra as the alleged intended recipient of the illicit drugs.
Officers said the phone allegedly contained screenshots of tracking numbers and messages on encrypted applications.
Police also searched the man’s car and a residential address in Nowra.
Investigators said they allegedly seized a yellow tablet, postal packaging, heat seal packaging with powder residue, small clip seal bags, a clip seal bag containing a white crystalline substance and a laptop.
The 26-year-old was charged with one count of import marketable quantity of a border controlled drug.
The offence carries a maximum penalty of 25 years’ imprisonment.
“Their presence in the community poses a serious risk to life,” Blunden said.
“The AFP has zero tolerance for anyone seeking to profit from harmful, illicit substances.
“Our priority is always the safety of the public, and we will continue to disrupt any attempt to introduce these deadly drugs into the country.”
