As long as the TCP stack has received the close packet, you can.
If you open the port as /no-wait, using COPY will return (AFAIK):
- a non-empty string, i.e. the data;
- an empty string, meaning the connection is open but there's no
data available in the buffers;
- NONE, meaning the port has been closed on the other side.
