HAMBURG  - Morocco's state grains office ONICL received no offers in a tender to import 345,455 tonnes of durum wheat from the United States as part of the annual preferential customs tariff quota for 2019, European traders said on Friday.

A tender had closed on Thursday seeking durum to arrive in Morocco by May 31 at the latest. 

ONICL's tender for U.S. durum under the 2018 quota also drew no offers when it was held in September.
