I've heard horror stories about BR when someone purchased tickets worth US$2700 and got a surprise US$81 foreign CC surcharge by the card bank. The CA fare I'm looking for appears identically on various on-line travel agencies, so if the CA charge is foreign, I'll go elsewhere.
Why don't you just buy from an asian travel agency in your city. Chances are that they will have fares as low or sometimes even lower than what Air China can give you.

I doubt the tickets will be issued in the US even though website might indicate it so.
