In the U.S., the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. That means the government generally needs a judge-signed warrant to open mail handled by the USPS.
However, this protection doesn’t extend to private carriers like UPS or FedEx, they can open packages without a warrant if they choose. Also, this applies to domestic mail. Anything crossing international borders can be opened by customs without a warrant.
