The judge also said Parris was entitled to full credit for entering a guilty plea at the earliest opportunity after his arrest, which reduced the sentence handed to him from 18 years to 12.
Calvin Parris, 35, from Cardiff, was detained by Portuguese police in the Algarve in October, having previously featured on the National Crime Agency's (NCA) most wanted list.
The following month, police arrested the head of the group, Michael Laverick, who was later sentenced to 18 years in prison.
Amir Khan, a trusted member of the group who received 6.5kg of cocaine, was jailed for 20 years and seven months.
South Wales Police said the defendant was the last member of an organised crime group (OCG) to be detained.
