You must specify file format and copy options as part of the COPY INTO <table> command.

Explanation:
When loading data with COPY INTO into a table, you control how the input data is read and how the load behaves by specifying the file format and copy options in the statement. You do this by either providing an inline FILE_FORMAT definition (for example, TYPE='CSV', FIELD_DELIMITER=',', SKIP_HEADER=1) or by referencing a named file format you created earlier. You can also rely on a stage that has a default file format, but the operation still relies on a defined format in some way. In addition, copy options (such as ON_ERROR behavior, file pattern matching, or whether to purge files after load) are included to tailor the loading process. This explicit specification ensures Snowflake parses the data correctly and handles the load according to your rules.
