Comment: "I saw pictures and they are very tiny, tightly wrapped "balls." I put sachet in quotes and I think it works since it means a small bag or packet. Thanks Ed!"

small balloons of ice
I think it's just the same than the Spanish version..

baggies
Most drugs in powder form are sold in "baggies", which may or may not be the ends of rubber condoms or balloons, and are also often simply the corner of a normal plastic bag tied in a knot like that in a balloon.
Sometimes small paper wraps are also used, folded over like a normal postal envelope.This is "ice" which I believe is crytsal meth, which is sold in baggies or wraps in small doses.

Not balloons or condoms in this case (only 5 baggies of stuff) which as ET points out are swallowed in larger numbers usually for export by "mules"...
