Sending goods for job work as excise importer

Dear Sirs,

If a company registers as excise importer/dealer, are we allowed to send goods for Job Work under Notification No. 214/86, where the liability of excise will be on us post job work completion?

Basically, we send goods to job worker, job worker manufactures them (wants duty liability on us) and we dispatch to eventual client from job worker factory, while charging ED on our invoice.

Is an excise importer allowed to do this? or does one need registration as excise manufacturer? Job worker wants us to take excise liability and wants their exposure to be only limited to manufacturing goods.

Please help!

Thanks
