The man is also independently charged with one count of importing illicit drugs.
The prosecution alleges he imported 12.9 kilograms of cocaine and the couple had 34.4 grams of methamphetamine as well as cocaine tablets.
The estimated value of the drugs in their possession is between $US9.5million and $US14 million.
The FBC reported the couple also failed to declare a pistol, a revolver and over 100 rounds of ammunition.
The couple's case will be called again next month.
