Finding cedar siding that ships globally usually depends on
major specialized cedar exporters and distributorsrather than standard local retail brands, because raw timber and heavy siding require specialized ocean or air freight logistics.Major suppliers with explicit worldwide shipping capabilities for cedar siding, shakes, and shingles include:
- Direct Cedar Supplies: Provides worldwide shipping of Western Red Cedar shakes, shingles, and sidewall materials. They coordinate global ocean and air freight to clients on nearly every continent. You can review their catalog and export options directly on the Direct Cedar Supplies Website.
- Custom Mountain Wood / WoodRoof.com: Based out of British Columbia, Canada, they feature over 25 years of global shipping experience for Western Red Cedar roofing and siding shingles. They coordinate international ocean freight (20ft/40ft containers or palletized LCL services), handles phytosanitary certification, fumigation, and agricultural quarantine documentation for delivery across Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and Australasia. More details are available on the WoodRoof Shipping Policy.
- International Timber: A major supplier handling extensive external wood and timber cladding boards including Western Red Cedar and cedar shingles/shakes, primarily serving international and European projects. You can check their product lines on the International Timber Cladding Range.
To help narrow down the best supplier and get an accurate freight estimate, could you tell me:
- Your general location or country for delivery?
- What type of cedar profile you are looking for (e.g., bevel siding, tongue-and-groove, or individual shingles/shakes)?
- The approximate square footage or volume of your project?

I found several cedar siding suppliers that explicitly offer international or worldwide shipping. Since your location is estimated to be in New York City, I’ve prioritized suppliers that ship from North America and can arrange freight to residential or construction sites.
One important distinction: some suppliers specialize in solid cedar boards and architectural siding, while others focus on cedar shingle or shake siding. The best choice depends on the look you want.
Best cedar siding suppliers with worldwide shipping
1. Buffalo Lumber
(Best for solid wood boards)
Specializes in milled-to-order cedar siding, including prefinished, primed, painted and stained options. Offers international shipping quotes for full 20-foot and 40-foot containers; smaller international shipments must be arranged separately.
Based in Oregon, USA
2. WoodRoof.com
(Best for worldwide shingle delivery)
A British Columbia supplier specializing in cedar shingles and shakes for siding and roofing. It explicitly advertises worldwide delivery, including the USA, Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. It handles both full containers and smaller consolidated shipments.
Based near Vancouver, Canada
3. Direct Cedar Supplies
Specializes in Western Red, Eastern White and Alaskan Yellow Cedar shakes and shingles, including siding products. Its website explicitly says it ships worldwide and can deliver directly to homes, businesses and job sites.

4. White Cedar Shingles & Lumber
Manufactures Eastern White Cedar products and states that it ships throughout the US and internationally. Worth considering for natural white cedar shingles and lumber. Confirm availability of your specific siding profile and international freight costs directly.
North American supplier
5. Japan Yakisugi
A more design-oriented option for charred Japanese cedar siding. Its site advertises worldwide delivery and serves North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. A good candidate if you want a dark, textured, architectural finish rather than traditional red cedar.

Yes. Several cedar siding manufacturers and mill-direct suppliers explicitly offer international or worldwide shipping. The strongest options I found are primarily based in British Columbia, Canada, where Western Red Cedar is widely processed.
If you're sourcing cedar siding for a building project, these companies are worth contacting directly. Some specialize in custom-milled architectural siding, while others are better suited to wholesale or container-sized orders.

Direct retail e-commerce shipping for bulky exterior cedar siding on a global/worldwide scale is rarebecause wood siding is heavy, long, and subject to strict international phytosanitary (pest control) regulations and customs duties.However, large-scale primary cedar manufacturers, global timber exporters, and international millwork networks regularly ship container loads worldwide for commercial and residential projects.
How Global Cedar Shipping Works
- B2B / Container Export: Major mills in the Pacific Northwest of the US and British Columbia, Canada (the epicentre of Western Red Cedar) do not use standard parcel delivery. Instead, they export via intermodal shipping containers (20ft/40ft) or breakbulk cargo ships worldwide to international distributors, architectural specifiers, and large contractors.
- The WRCLA Network: The Western Red Cedar Lumber Association (WRCLA) —often branded as Real Cedar —includes a directory of primary manufacturers, remanufacturers, and international associates who coordinate global logistics.
Major Cedar Producers/Exporters with Global Reach
- Canfor (Canadian Forest Products): One of the world's largest producers of sustainable lumber, supplying Western Red Cedar and other softwood products through a massive global distribution network to Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
- Tolko Industries: A major Canadian forest products company that manufactures and exports specialty lumber and exterior building products internationally.
- Teal-Jones Group: A major primary manufacturer of Western Red Cedar based in British Columbia that ships lumber, shakes, shingles, and siding products worldwide.
- Surrey Cedar / Pioneer Lumber: Large-scale mill operations that frequently handle export documentation and container loading for overseas clients building with authentic Canadian cedar.
If you are planning an overseas project, please share:
- The destination country/region
- Approximate square footage or volume needed
- The specific profile style (bevel, tongue and groove, channel, or shingles)
I can help guide you on whether you need a local importer/distributor or if you should contact a direct mill export department.
