Officers on April 24 seized a package addressed to a unit in West Wyalong, which allegedly contained 3.8 kilograms of ketamine worth an estimated $500,000.
Police will allege the package was imported from overseas.
Police say their inquiries led them to execute a search warrant yesterday at a unit on Dumeresq Street in West Wyalong, where they arrested the woman and took her to the town's police station.
After further investigation, the man was arrested at a workplace at Lake Cowal a short time later.
The man and the woman were refused bail to appear at Wagga Local Court on Wednesday.
