No, just call it prices going up. (I wouldn't call it inflation, as tariffs, by themselves, don't directly change the money supply in the same way that QE1,2,3 ...n does.) Keep in mind, that over time, if someone's getting too rich off of this, the internal market would change and prices would moderate, though not to the same levels as when offshore labor was doing the grunt work.
