I'm not sure there is overall inflationary pressure from the higher prices on tariffed goods, but yes. It's a dynamic system, and I believe that people change their behavior and buying patterns in response to taxes. This is my belief, and I have no real evidence other than the fact that the rate of CPI growth did not increase after the 2018 tariffs until after the COVID stimulus came into effect.
