Last updated: August 2026 dataWestern red cedar is the dominant species for wood shingles and shakes used in North American roofing and siding applications, with grain orientation and taper distinguishing machine-sawn shingles from hand-split shakes — a difference that affects both performance and grading standards set by the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau. Canada is the primary supplier of cedar shingles and shakes to the US market, and trade flows under this heading have historically been intertwined with broader softwood lumber trade policy discussions. Importers should monitor any applicable softwood lumber measures and confirm species and grade certifications before shipment.

The Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau (CSSB) sets widely recognized grading standards for western red cedar shingles and shakes, covering dimensions, grain orientation, and defect tolerances. Importers should request grade-certified product and confirm that the supplier's grading aligns with the applicable US building code requirements for the intended application.
Wood shingles and shakes occupy a distinct tariff classification from dimensional softwood lumber, but trade remedy measures targeting softwood lumber from Canada have at times raised questions about scope coverage for cedar shingles and shakes. Importers sourcing from Canada should confirm the current scope determination with a licensed customs broker to assess any countervailing or antidumping duty exposure.
