A Brazilian woman has allegedly been nabbed at Sydney Airport with about 8kg of cocaine in the lining of her suitcase.

The 23-year-old woman arrived at Sydney International Airport on a flight from Chile on Saturday and was charged after Australian Border Force (ABF) officers found three packages containing cocaine.

She is due to face Sydney Central Local Court on Thursday charged with importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, AFP said.
