The answer to the honourable member's question is:

The Department detects a range of contraband at the border including: major drugs, precursors, New Psychoactive Substances (NPS), Performance and Image Enhancing Drugs (PIEDS), undeclared conventional firearms as well as undeclared tobacco.

The Department does not measure the street value of the drugs it detects at the border. The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission's Illicit Drug Data Report 2015-16 contains illicit drug data including value.
