Two people have been charged with importing heroin into Australia.
A 60-year-old man and 50 year-old woman were arrested after arriving in Darwin on a flight from Vietnam via Singapore.
Both are Australians.
Customs officials say they were concealing the drugs internally.
A total of about 700 grams of the drug is said to have been recovered from the couple.
If convicted, the pair could face up to 25 years in jail and a half million dollar fine.
