The four kilos of amphetamine sulphate and 5,000 ecstasy tablets were discovered in a tyre among other motorcycle equipment inside the UK-registered vehicle.
Director of Customs enforcement Steve Le Marquand said this was the largest seizure of amphetamine sulphate, a Class B drug, made by Customs officers and the most significant seizure of the drug at the ports since 1998.
David Robert Jolly (37), from Preston, who has been charged with importation, was due to appear in the Magistrate’s Court on Thursday morning.
