On top of the import duties, you would be liable for use tax depending on where you live.
If it's a big ticket item (meaning a high purchase price), you have a greater chance of paying the use tax than if it was a smaller ticket item. The US Customs Service has been working with state tax departments to find people who import big ticket tiems.

If the item has a value under $50 USD there is no import duty at all.

You must be referring to import duties. That varies based on the product and its value. Contact US Customs for information on import duties.
