Customs officers said on Monday they had seized suspected controlled medicine with a street value of around HK$55 million.
Five people, aged between 27 and 41, were arrested at the airport, a Hung Hom warehouse and a logistics centre in Sheung Wan, in an operation that ended early this month.
Officers said around 1.6 million pills were seized, most of them a form of virility medication.
Rita Li, who heads customs' syndicate crimes investigation bureau, said the pills were posted to Hong Kong from India and could have been destined to be repackaged and sent to Europe and the United States.
