Police said 112 grams of the drug was seized after being alerted to a suspicious package at an Australia Post mail sorting centre on July 28.
A 45-year-old Devonport woman was arrested on July 31, with police saying subsequent searches resulted in further seizures of ice and cannabis.
The woman has been charged with "serious drug offences" and will appear in the Devonport Magistrate Court at 2.15pm today.
Western District Commander Stuart Wilkinson said police were committed to targeting the supply of illicit drugs and protecting the wider community.
"These are highly addictive drugs, and cause significant damage when distributed throughout the community," he said.
"We will continue to target criminals involved in the manufacture and distribution of drugs."
Police said anyone with information about illicit drugs should contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 330 000 or online at crimestopperstas.com.au.
