If you had to ask, that means you already tried. Therefore, the answer is no. If you did not try, then why are you asking?
If not, you will need to read it in as Char (or VarChar if it's a delimited file), then convert it to timestamp using StringToTimestamp() with the proper format defined in the conversion.
