FBC News reports the pair appeared at the Suva High Court, jointly charged with importation and alternative counts of possession of an illicit drug.
They're also charged with a count each of possessing arms and ammunition without a license.
They were arrested after authorities seized 13 bricks of cocaine weighing 15 kilograms as well as 65 methamphetamine tablets with an estimated value of over $US14 million.
Officials also found $US15,000 in undeclared currency, two pistols and 97 rounds of live ammunition on board.
