A Sydney freight worker will face court accused of involvement in the attempted importation of 100 kilograms of methamphetamine hidden inside a dough mixer.

Australian Federal Police will allege the 39-year-old from Beecroft used his role at a freight forwarding company to facilitate importing the drugs from Canada.

He is the third Sydney man charged after a transnational drug trafficking investigation, which began when 100kg of meth was found inside a commercial dough mixer by Canadian border police.

The shipment was seized and the drugs replaced with a harmless substance before being sent to NSW and delivered to a property in Wentworthville.

The huge haul was uncovered in Canada inside a dough mixing machine.
