Canada Border Services Agency officers stopped a package of drugs headed for the United States earlier this month.
CBSA air cargo officers seized just over two kilograms of MDMA, also known as ecstasy, at the Vancouver International Airport on Jan. 9.
The drugs, with an estimated value of $71,000, were declared as bath products at the airport and destined for California.
"All goods, people, (and) conveyances may be subject to in-depth examination," said Sinead Fonseca, communications advisor with CBSA.

This included over 9,861 kilograms of drugs stopped from leaving or entering the country.
