Focusing on the economics rather than the politics, this is very unlikely to be the case. If Chinese goods see a 25% bump in price at retail, you can be sure that will put upward pressure on prices from profit-maximizing domestic suppliers.
In general, suppliers increase price whenever they can get away with it. You may remember that during the last round of tariffs, manufacturers increased the prices of clothes dryers that were not taxed along with the prices of clothes dryers which were taxed.
