Dear Max: "F-word" the OED. I wish Bobyoungbalt were with us, because he is in the business of buying merchandise from overseas, apparently. He would know how to check that "ullage" is a legal term, used in contracts to guarantee that the buyer gets what he paid for. If you bought a thousand barrels of wine, with a guaranteed ullage of no more than one quart per barrel, and received a shipment of a thousand barrels with only a quart in each, I believe you would be sufficiently annoyed to sue, and I believe, readily win the suit.
