Using Credit Card for overseas purchase

in Credit cards
Hi,
Had a quick look but can't see anything about this.
I am purchasing my wedding dress online from a US site and having it sent to a US address my aunt owns. I f I pay using my Halifax credit card will I be charged a fee or just an exchange rate?
Also, does anyone know if I will be ok to put the billing address in the US as the site doesn't allow UK billing address and US edelivery address?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Emma.

I think you will find they charge 2.75% commission.
Only cards I know that dont are the PostOffice card, and Nationwide
