Tariffs established by a legislative body are usually said to be repealed. . Nonlegislative tariffs would be revoked. But you don't always want or need to be procedurally accurate, sometimes you want to just emphasize the result. Or you simply may not know the details and don't want to trip over the wrong word.
Rescind works well enough for either case.
1 : to take away : REMOVE
2a : TAKE BACK, CANCEL
//refused to rescind the order
b : to abrogate (a contract) and restore the parties to the positions they would have occupied had there been no contract
3 : to make void by action of the enacting authority or a superior authority : REPEAL
//rescind an act

My sense is that lift tends to be used to imply a link between the lifting and the acceptability of trading partners' behavior, whereas rescind can be used without implying that the rescission is due to some more favorable regard toward the relationship.
