You're not doing yourself a favor by omitting tortoises from outside of the UK. If you are careful and acclimate the animal you should not have a problem with an animal not bred in the UK. In fact... most of the tortoises that come from farms are usually very well started and already have some good development.
I have gotten many tortoises from farms without a problem and I know many others who have done the same. Keep in mind that you are going to find a variance of opinion on most topics of keeping chelonians. I'd suggest reading up more on these farms. There are some good threads on this forum on the topic. I think I've even posted some photos of one such farm.
