    Try one of the options below:

    CREATE TABLE public.array_test
    (
        f1 int,
        f2 ARRAY[varchar(80), 10],
        f3 ARRAY[ARRAY[int], 10]
    );
    INSERT INTO array_test VALUES (123, ARRAY['d', 'e', 'r'], ARRAY[ARRAY[1,2,3]]);
    INSERT INTO array_test VALUES (123, '["d", "e", "r"]', ARRAY[[1,2,3]]);
    
    SELECT * FROM array_test;
     f1  |      f2       |    f3
    -----+---------------+-----------
     123 | ["d","e","r"] | [[1,2,3]]
     123 | ["d","e","r"] | [[1,2,3]]
    (2 rows)

    Parquet should work, and JSON is another option for text files:
    d2=> create table nestarray (av array[varchar(80)], aai array[array[int]]);
    CREATE TABLE
    d2=> copy nestarray from local stdin parser fjsonparser();
    Enter data to be copied followed by a newline.
    End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself.
    {"av":["a","b","c"],"aai":[[1,2],[1,2,3]]}
    .

    Rows Loaded

           1
    

    d2=> select * from nestarray ;
    av | aai
    ---------------+-----------------
    ["a","b","c"] | [[1,2],[1,2,3]]
