Thomas Davies, 27, and Siyabonga Konze, 30 years, both from South Wales were busted by detectives on Project Medusa, and investigation into County Lines drug dealing.
Davies was jailed for 10 years and two months after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply heroin.
While Konze was sentenced to seven years and two months for the same offences.
Project Medusa is a Merseyside-led initiative set up to tackle County Lines drug dealing and child criminal exploitation, which has seen more than 1,300 people arrested and £1.4 million cash seized.
Detective Inspector Gary Stratton said: "Organised crime is hugely damaging to our communities, often involving intimidation, violence and creating fear and it is these criminals who run County Lines.
"Criminals involved in organised crime have no thought for anyone other than themselves, and their criminal intent and greed.
"Project Medusa is dedicated to cutting these County Lines dead and taking those who operate them off our streets and working with partners to help those who may be exploited by these gangs."
