Hi Mark,
Have you considered getting the "approved" Ford bar, but not having it fitted. Then find a metal fabricator who could easily remove the plate that the normal tongue attaches to, then weld on the box tube to receive a standard HR tow hitch? There is a manufacturer who makes a smaller section HR type hitch but I can't recall the name - sorry about that.
You would then need to fit the bar (or have it fitted) but it could be an easier route to take. I suspect that if you try the import process you will get a huge freight cost plus the possibility that UK VAT will get added as well.
That said, I don't know that I would be fiting a tow bar to a FWD vehicle - but then I have the Territory for that kind of work.
Cheers
Alan
