Important but with a caveat.

PPI does not include final imported goods. However, headline PPI does incorporate:
X. Domestic producers’ price responses to tariffs
X. Intermediate imported goods (like auto parts) that are used in the production of final domestic goods. 2/3 of US imports are raw materials and intermediate goods; only 1/3 final
X. Logistics, wholesale, and retail margins on imported goods, which are not insignificant. (Logistics accounts for ~10% of total consumer prices; typical retail gross margins range from 25%-35%)

So not 100%, but PPI does capture a significant portion of the import impact both directly and indirectly.
